"/  am  smietimcs  asked  by  young  people  to  reeommctd  a  course  of  reading. 
My  advice  zvould  be  that  they  should  confine  themselves  to  the  supreme  booh  in 
whatever  literature,  or  better  still,  to  choose  some  one  great  author.,  and  make 
themselves  thoroughly  familiar  with  him.     For,  as  all  roads  lead  to  Rome,  so  do 
they  likewise  lead  azvay  from  it,  and  you  rvill  find  that,  in  order  to  understand 
perfectly  and  weigh  exactly  any  vital  piece  of  literature,  you  will  be  gradually 
and  pleasantly  persuaded  to   e.uurstons  of  which  you  little  dreamed  when  you 
began,  and  will  find  yourselves  scholars  before  you  c^re  azvare.     For  remember 
that  there  is  not  lung  less  profitable  than  scholarship  for  the  mere  sake  of  scholar- 
ship,  nor  anything  more  wearisome  in  the  attainment.     Hut  the  moment  you  have 
a  definite  aim,  attention  is  quickened,  the  mother  of  memory  and  all  that  you 
acquire  groups  and  arranges  itself  in  an  order  that  is  lucid,  because  everywhere 
and  always  it  is  in  intelligent  relation  to  a  central  object  of  constant  and  grorcing 
interest.     This  method  also  forces  upon  us  the  necessity  of  thinking,  rohich  is, 
after  all,  the  highest  result  of  all  education.     For  what  we  want  is  not  learning, 
but  knowledge;  that  is,  the  power  to  make  learning  answer  its  true  end  as]z 
qutekcner  of  intelligence  and  a  widener  of  the  intellectual  sympathies."-] K^^^^

racy  and  other  addresses). 


PREFACE. 


This  List  tells  of  some  twenty-one  hundred  books  worthy  to  be  read  or  studied 
by  girls  and  women.  Men  and  women  who  know  have  chosen  the  books  and  said 
about  them  just  what  they  would  tell  an  inquirer  face  to  face.  In  some  cases  trust- 
worthy reviews  have  been  condensed  and  ciied.  The  selection  especially  includes 
books  setting  forth  the  manifold  new  opportunities  for  bread-winning,  education, 
and  culture  opened  to  women  within  recent  years.  These  new  opportunities  are 
notably  furthered  by  the  clubs  and  associations  multiplying  on  every  hand  in 
America.  To  promote  their  formation,  and  to  render  them  service,  are  among  the 
purposes  of  this  List.  Although  the  List  is  thus  adapted  to  girls  and  women, 
most  of  its  books  are  as  well  suited  to  boys  and  men  as  to  girls  and  women — for 
great  literature  appeals  to  all  mankind.  In  planning  courses  of  reading  for  the 
young  of  either  sex,  librarians,  teachers,  and  parents  will  find  the  List  very  helpful. 

The  American  Library  Association  intends  to  follow  this  comparatively  short 
List  with  others,  which  shall  be  full  and  detailed  enough  to  aid  the  comprehensive 
reader  and  the  advanced  student.  During  1896  it  is  probable  that  it  will  issue  hand- 
books on  the  literature  of  Fixe  Art,  by  Mr.  Russell  Sturgis  ;  and  on  that  of  Music, 
by  Mr.  Henry  E.  Krehbiel  ;  both  these  authorities  are  contributors  to  this  List.  It 
is  hoped  that  from  this  beginning  the  whole  round  of  the  working  literature  of 
education,  science,  and  art  will  be  passed  upon  by  critics  of  mark  for  the  behoof  of 
readers  and  students.  Notes  condensed  for  the  purpose  by  contributors  may  be 
printed  directly  on  the  catalogue-cards  of  a  puulic  library,  so  that  in  running  over 
the  department  of  American  geology,  of  electricity,  of  photography,  of  engraving, 
one  may  be  enabled  to  ciioose  a  book  as  intelligently  as  if  thee  .stood  at  one's  side 
an  authority  on  the  subject — a  service  this  of  great  importancf  m  an  age  when  books, 
good,  bad,  and  indifferent,  abound  and  superabound.  In  the  present  List  a  good 
many  notes  are  available  for  direct  transfer  to  catalogue-cards. 

While  books  in  general  are  in  plentiful  supply  there  are  some  subjects  of  impor- 
tance to  girls  and  women  upon  which  no  books  exist.  Co-operative  housekeeping  is 
such  a  subject  ;  throughout  the  United  States  diverse  experiments  are  being  tried, 
which,  if  rightly  described  and  criticised,  would  be  informing  to  many  inquirers  ;  the 
chapters  should  be  extended  to  include  plans  of  the  best  apartment-houses  and 
country-clubs,  and  to  outline  the  most  recent  labor-saving  appliances,  electrical  and 
other,  introduced  in  city  hotels.  Another  theme  of  interest  to  women,  on  which  a 
useful  book  might  be  written,  is  investment.  The  rate  of  interest  on  sound  securities 
is  low  and  tends  to  become  lower.     Any  method  by  which  women  have  increased 


vi 


Prtfaci. 


their  incomes  from  investment  by  exercise  of  good  judgment  and  wise  supervision, 
deserves  to  be  known  to  other  women  with  a  little  property  from  which  returns  grow 
smaller  and  smaller.  Typical  cases  of  gain  and  of  loss  would  be  of  very  great  value 
for  encouragement  or  warning.  In  a  totally  different  field  England  has  given  us  an 
example  worth  copying.  Sixty  years  ago  Miss  Martineau  wrote  her  "  Tales  of  Politi- 
cal Economy  "  ;  twenty  years  ago  the  same  field  was  entered  by  Mrs.  Fawcett.  Both 
authors  showed  that  the  principles  underlying  the  right  management  of  a  national 
household  are  much  akin  to  those  which  rule  the  duty  and  the  work  of  an  industrious 
and  sensible  family.  Questions  of  currency,  taxation,  and  international  trade,  as 
now  debated  in  this  country,  could  readily  be  made  intelligible  if  cast  in  the  form  of 
stories.  With  skill,  these  stories  might  easily  develop  a  public  interest  in  economic 
righteousness,  now  scant  enough. 

The  editions  given  in  this  list  are  usually  the  cheapest  of  fair  quality.  At  the 
end  of  this  volume  publishers'  addresses  are  printed  in  full. 

The  figures  which  follow  the  notes  are  those  of  the  Decimal  Classification.

CHOSEN    AND    ANNOTATKD   BY   A    RKVIEWBR    KOR    "THH  NATION. 

In  preparing  this  list  the  choice  has  been  limited  to  two  hundred  and  fifty  American, 
British  and  Canadian  authors  and  their  principal  works.  While  the  object  has  been  to 
select  novels  and  tales  of  interest  to  ^irls  and  women,  great  literature  appeals  to  ali  mankind, 
and  many  of  the  books  here  named  are  as  attractive  to  boys  and  men  as  to  their  sisters 
and  mothers.  Besides  the  acknowledged  masters  ol  fiction,  the  present  list  includes  the 
writers  who,  without  being  great,  have  founded  schools  or  led  fashions,  also  the  authors  who 
have  passed  on  from  generation  to  generation  the  chief  traditions  of  novel-writing,  and  gradu- 
ally developed  the  art.  Unfortunately,  many  writers  of  fiction  enjoy  wide  popularity  with- 
out deserving  it;  of  this  class  the  vicious  and  depraved  are  unmentioned;  others,  without 
being  vicious,  are  frivolous  in  ideas  and  defective  in  taste  and  skill ;  of  these  a  few  repre- 
sentatives are  introduced  with  a  word  of  warning. 

The  plan  in  drawing  up  this  list  is,  for  leading  authors,  first,  to  offer  brief  general 
cliaraclc'izations;  to  follow  with  a  selection  of  their  best  works,  giving  a  short  note  to  each 
book;  lastly,  to  name  without  comment  a  few  more  of  their  works.  With  other  authors  a 
single  note  is  the  rule;  in  no  case  is  there  mention  of  all  an  author's  volumes.  In  many  cases 
a  wide  variety  of  editions  of  popular  novels  are  published;  from  among  these  editions  in  one 
volume,  in  cloth,  at  low  prices,  have  been  chosen;  and  also  fair  editions  in  paper.  The  pub- 
lishers' addresses  have  been  abbreviated.  The  figures  in  brackets  following  a  living  author's 
name  give  the  year  of  birth;  in  the  ca^e  of  an  author  not  living,  also  the  year  of  death;  in 
some  cases  no  information  has  been  four.;!  The  first  note  after  an  author's  name  is  followed 
by  the  number  for  her  or  his  books  in  the  Decim.il  Classification. 

Readers  who  desire  complete  lists  of  novels,  including  translations,  may  refer  to  "The 
best  reading,"  by  F.  U.  Perkins,  with  its  supplements,  published  by  Putnam,  New  York. 
Wm.  M.  (IriswoU!,  Cambridge,  Mass.,  issues  various  Lists  of  Fiction,  American  and  foreign, 
with  citations  from  leading  critical  reviews.  The  American  Library  Association,  through 
the  Library  Hurcau,  publishes  "  Reading  for  the  young,"  conipiled  by  John  F.  Sargent, 
with  short  descriptive  notes;  its  department  "f  fiction  is  comprehensive.

Aldrich,  Thomas  Bailey.    [1S36-  .] 

A  New  England  poet,  novelist  and  writer  of  tales. 
His  short  stories  fre  among  the  best  in  the  English 
language.  Each  episode  is  complete,  ingeniously  de- 
veloped and  generally  ended  wiih  a  surprise,  which 
i<,  however  a  logical  inference  from  incident  and  char- 
acter. His  power  for  sketching  a  single  incident  is 
greater  than  for  sustained  narrative,  and  his  novels 
are  therefore  more  noticeable  for  brilliant  episodes 
than  for  continuous  interest.  .>13.44.

Arblay,  Mme,  Frances  (Bumey)  d'.     [1752- 

1840.] 

English  18th  century  novelist.  She  modelled  her 
style  and  manner  on  the  famous  contemporary  realistic 
novelists,  Richardson  and  Fielding,  though  less  senti- 
mental and  more  humorous  than  the  former,  and  not 
comparable  with  the  latter  for  force  and  versatility. 
She  confined  herself  to  delineations  of  small  groups  in 
their  social  relations,  and  may  be  said  to  have  invented 
the  domestic  and  society  novel.  She  observed  keenly, 
had  original  insight,  much  ironical  humor  and  a  strong 
sense  for  comedy.    At  twenty-six  she  sprang  from  ob- 

unty  to  fame,  became  the  pei  rif  London  society,  and 
over  half  a  century  remained  a  conspicuous  figure 

both  literary  and  fashionable  circles.  823.66. 

Kvelina.    N.  Y.,  Macmillan,  2  vols.,  $2. 

The  author's  first  and  best  book.  The  theme  is  the 
annoyance  caused  by  vulgar  relations  to  a  fashionable 
young  lady,  noble  on  one  side  of  the  house.  Some  of 
the  situations  are  admirably  comic  and  the  characters, 
though  now  appearing  a  little  formal,  survive  very 
fairly  the  wear  and  tear  of  a  century.  Contemporary 
society  pronounced  this  representation  of  itself  de- 
lightful and  Its  verdict  has  been  accepted  by  posterity, 
which  also  accepts  Miss  Burney  as  the  first  of^  English 
women  worthy  to  sit  among  the  classics.

Aristocracy:    an   anonymous  novel.     N.  Y., 

Appleton,  paper,  50  c. 

Was  written  as  a  sitire  upon  the  many  flattering 
pictures  of  society  now  offered  the  public.  The  char- 
acters are  said  to  be  well-known  prople.  "  Aristoc- 
racy" delineates  stupid  and  wicked  men  and  women. 
It  depicts  barely  one  decent  character,  and  the  pano- 
rama of  English  life  is,  to  say  the  least,  depressing. 
The  style  is  very  pointed,  but  the  novel,  while  enter- 
taining, must  be  said  to  be  essentially  false  and  unsat- 
isfactory. 823.89.

Austen,  Jane.    [1775-1817.] 

English  novelist  of  domestic  and  social  life  in  the 
early  days  of  the  19th  century.  The  first  of  the  three 
great  English  women  in  fiction  and.  as  an  artist  in 
letters,  more  finished  than  either  Charlotte  Bronti'  or 
George  Eliot.  The  only  notable  predecessor  in  her 
sphere  was  Frances  Burney,  the  author  of  "  Evelina  " 
Miss  Austen's  noves  reproduce  with  singular  vivid- 
ness and  detail  the  minds  and  manners  of  her  period 
and  locality.  She  clung  closely  to  -I'^l  she  knew  and 
saw,  or  divined  from  observation.    A  ^reat  world,  a 


Fiction. 


popular  movement,  a  political  upheaval,  had  no  attrac- 
tion for  her.  The  private  life  of  the  middle-class  peo- 
pie  among  whom  she  lived  was  her  only  material.  So 
scrupulously  did  she  avoid  the  exceptional  in  episode 
or  character,  so  studiously  shun  dramatic  surprise,  that 
her  capacity  for  investing  her  lengthy  narratives 
with  interest  seems  marvellous.  During  the  twenty 
years  of  her  literary  life  her  style  knew  neither  devel- 
opment nor  deterioration.  It  was  always  absolutely 
fitted  to  her  theme.  Her  world  was  commonplace, 
rather  shallow  :  living  always  in  awe  of  the  neighbors' 
opinions ;  mostly  prone  to  trivial  deceits,  hypocrisy 
and  spite,  not  largely  loving  or  sympathetic.  Miss 
Austen  saw  it,  saw  through  it  and  laughed  at  it, 
showed  it  all  up  with  keen  but  not  unkindly  satire. 
Modern  enthusiasts  for  realism  declare  that  Jane  Aus- 
ten alone  has  achieved  that  in  English  fiction,  but  it  is 
wise  to  remember  her  limitation,  the  regions  of  actual 
life  ot  thought  and  feelings  which  she  neither  could 
ni-f  woulc"  touch.  Perhaps  no  one  of  her  novels  is 
really  better  than  another.  They  are  all  good,  with 
the  same  characteristics.  823.74,

New  England  writer  of  historical  novels  and  talcs, 
especially  of  the  Puritan  colonists  of  Massachusetts. 
She  had  not  that  great  imagination  which  reproduces 
the  spirit  of  the  past,  and  was  a  trifle  too  conscientious 
about  the  letter  to  give  unity  and  an  appearance  of 
actuality  to  her  work.  Nevertheless  she  was  much  in 
sympathy  with  her  chosen  period  and  wrote  entertain- 
ingly of  the  struggles,  physical  and  spiritual,  of  her 
colonial  ancestors.  813.40.

her  manner  unpretentious  and  sincere.  Whatever 
trials  her  people  endure  they  generally  survive  them, 
and  the  distribution  of  happiness  at  the  end,  if  oUl-

Barrie,  James  Matthew.    [  1 S60- .  ] 

Scotch  novelist  and  writer  of  tales,  plays  and  sketches. 
His  rapidly  achieved  reputation  rests  on  his  delineation 
of  poor,  plain  Scotch  people,  in  which  he  shows  clear 
understanding  both  of  the  poverty  of  their  external  life 
and  the  richness  of  their  spiritual  and  mental  life— a 
combination  far  from  rare  in  Scotland.  His  characters 
are  never  sentimentalized  or  caricatured,  but  whether 
the  situation  be  pathetic,  tragic  or  humorous,  he  man- 
ages to  touch  the  right  note  in  the  right  way  and  pro- 
duces an  effect  at  once  recognized  as  just.      823.89,

His  descriptions  cf  scenery  and  color  in  thosereRions

ration. His  p'cits  arc  not  strong  and  revolve  round  a

^'reat  sentiment  and  sweetness ;  the  best  appeal 
strongly  to  imagination  and  emotion.  His  later  books 
arc  inferior  to  his  earlier  and  are  a  rather  tiresome 
exhibition  of  fatal  fluency  in  composition.        823.80,

One  of  the  first  works  of  fiction  in  which  the  antagon- 
ism of  capital  and  labor  was  discussed.  After  ten 
years  it  remainsone  of  the  best.  The  scene  is  in  Ohio,

story  is  preeminently  realistic  and  perfectly  frank  in 
characterization.  813.40. 

Brontfi,   Charlotte  ("Currer   Hell  ").      [1S21- 

Knglish  novelist  of  middle  period  of  iqth  century, 
Oneof  the  most  striking  penonalitiesin  Knglish  hcticn; 
her  novels  are  wholly  an  expression  of  that  personality. 
Her  actual  experience  was  very  limited,  and  of  a  kind 
that  distorted  an  impetuousand  fiery  spirit.  She  |>oured 
her  soul  out  in  her  books  with  painful  bitterness  and 
tremendous  passion.  She  broke  up  the  literary  conven- 
tion which  represented  women  as  tame,  passionless 
beings,  and  showed  them  conscious  of  an  indepeniient 
existence,  hopelessly  battlin,^  against  ciicumstances. 
The  modern  reader  is  most  surprised  by  the  submis- 
sive attitude  towards  men  assumed  to  be  the  correct 
one,  by  the  almost  ridiculous  i|ualities  ascribed  to  men, 
and  believed  by  the  author  to  be  natural  and  admirable, 
and  by  thereadinessof  her  real,thinking,  feeling  women 
to  fall  m,-idly  in  love  with  these  imaginary  and  gener- 
ally detestable  gods.  Nevertheless,  her  purely  subjec- 
tive novels  have  all  the  excitement  of  those  dependent 
on  thrilling  plot  an<l  inciilent.  In  delineating  the  man- 
ners of  people  of  wiioin  she  had  no  actual  knowledge 
(he.  heroes  included),  her  inexperience  is  evident;  her 
style  is  direct  and  keen,  but  too  poignant  for  modern 
taste.  Her  books  are  simply  the  cry  of  a  soul  for  some- 
thing that  life  refused,  and  will  probably  be  read  as 
long  as  humanity  is  capable  of  the  sensation  of  passiim- 
ate  pity.  823.81.

the  love  01  a  governess  Jane  Eyrr-,  for  her  employer, 
Rochester.  As  a  lover  Rochestcr*is  magnificent :  as  a 
man  execrable  and  a  little  ludicrous.  At  the  time  of 
the  publication  the  book  was  widely  described  a- im- 
moral, many  Hinsh  critics  lieing  so  horritied  by  Jane 
Eyre's  passion  of  love  that  they  (juite  overlooked  the 
nobility  of  her  renuncation.  Times  have  changed. 
Immorality  is  now  the  last  charge  which  one  would 
think  of  making  against  Miss  Hronle.

drawn  characters  as  Mme.  Beck  and  Monsieur  Paul  in- 
dicite  the  greatness  Miss  Bronti!  might  have  achieved 
had  her  life  been  fuller  and  wider.  Monsieur  Paul  is 
h«r  only  real  man  minutely  portrayed,  but  even  he  is 
given  the  benelit  of  the  author's  ievout  belief  in  the 
God-given  superiority  of  the  male  sex.  The  original 
ending  of  "  Villette  "  was  so  painful  to  the  public  that 
a  paragraph  was  added  in  subsequent  editions  which 
suggests  a  mitigation  of  tragedy.

WuiiiERiNG    Heights.     Harper,    ?i;   Rout- 
ledge,  80  c. 

The  only  novel  of  the  younger  sister  of  Charlotte 
Bronti'.  A  remarkable  production  of  a  gloomy  imagi- 
nation. The  chief  character,  Heathclifle.  is  probably 
the  most  monstrous  in  littion,  too  inhuman  even  to  ex- 
cite hatred.  The  power  o*  'he  book  is  as  indisputable 
as  Its  repulsiveness:  and  it  ^veral  ways  it  shows  crea- 
tive ability  superior  to  thai  i  the  more  famous  sister. 
No  pirasure  can  be  derived  from  reading  it,  and  its 
only  claim  for  continued  existence  is  that  of  a  curiosity 
in  literature.  823.89. 

Broughton,  Rhoda.    [1840-.] 

English  society  novelist,  frequently  as  silly  as  any 
other  of  her  class,  but  not  so  worthless  as  many.  Her 
early  stories,  chiefly  about  impoverished  girls  of  great 
beauty,  good  birth  and  bad  manners,  are  vivacious, 
funny,  with  moments  of  intense  and  genuine  passion, 
and  not  infrequent  wit.  Her  ideas  of  morals  are  gen- 
erally sentimental  and  wrong,  but  her  conduct  of  a 
love-story  often  shows  natural  talent  and  rather  un- 
common skill.  823.89.

Bulwer-Lytton,  Bdward  Oeorge  Barle  Lyt- 
ton.     [  1 803- 1 S  73.] 

English  novelist,  dramatist  and  poet  of  middle  period 
of  19th  century.  The  generally  good  level  of  his  worl , 
its  variety  and  quantity  are  pcrha|>s  not  equalled  by 
any  other  English  novelist,  yet  not  one  of  his  books 
takes  rank  with  the  best.  He  hud  n  romantic  imagina- 
tion, worldly  wisdom,  literary  cultivation,  distinguished 
elegance  and  facile  elo<|uence,  yet  he  never  convinced 
the  mind  or  very  ilecply  touched  lh>.  feelings.  The 
best  reason  for  this  failure  is  perhaps  because  he  lacked 
sincerity  and  penetration,  always  conveying  the  im- 
pression that  his  people  could  never  have  been  and 
done  exactly  what  he  said  they  were  and  did.  Some 
critics  deny  him  originality,  but  that  is  not  quite  fair. 
He  had  wonderful  aptitude  for  following  the  public  s 
tickle  fancy,  and  his  whole  work,  extending  over  fifty 
years,  represents  a  dozen  different  and  transient  fash- 
ions in  fiction.  His  novels  may  be  roughly  divided  into 
historical,  social,  and  fanciful  or  mystical.  Of  the  his- 
torical group  the  best  are  :

regime  are  not  (juite  forgotten.  Whether  or  not  his 
representation  is  truthful  is  a  matter  of  dispute.  The 
strange  dialect  used  in  conversation  detracts  for  man/ 
from  the  pleasures  of  his  narratives,  which  are  pictur- 
esque and  agreeably  imagined,  but  rather  formless  and 
discursive.  813.49,

Caine,  Thomas  (Henry)  Hall.    [1S53- .] 

English  romantic  novelist,  whose  particular  domain 
is  the  Isle  of  Man.  He  interprets  primitive  people  whose 
emotional  nature  is  stronger  than  reason  ;  he  develops 
them  through  circumstances  always  dramatic  and  fre- 
(juently  tragic.  VV^ith  a  tine,  poetical  imagination,  he 
combines  constructive  ability,  and  can  so  group  his 
people  and  events  as  to  give  unity  and  force  to  long 
and  involved  narration.  His  chief  fault  is  a  tendency 
to  melodrama  and  exaggeration  of  sentiment.

A  strong,  tragic  novel,  of  which  the  scene  is  laid  in 
the  Isle  of  Nian  about  the  beginning  of  the  iHth  cen- 
tury.  The  sternness  of  the  tragedy  is  relieved  by  com- 
edy, but  the  lasting  impression  is  a  sense  of  desolation 
and  wreck  after  a  war  of  passion.

cludes all  kinds  and  conditions  of  ^lanxmen.  Interest 
is  well  sustained  even  to  the  painful  but  logical  finish. 
The  Manxman,  Pete,  is  a  tiresome  person,  noisy  and 
too  primitive.  The  woman  for  whom  two  lives  are 
wrecked  is  worthies?  and  there  is  a  fundamental  im- 
probability in  the  assumption  .-it  the  end  that  there 
could  ever  be  happiness  for  Philip  Christian  in  his 
union  with  her.

An  interesting  but  somewh.it  tedious  story  of  I.uther

manners  and  religious  strife  are  thoughtful  and  in-

whicn  religious  emotion  has  been  a  prominent  factor.

A  charming  little  tale,  fundamentally  serious, 
though,  of  course,  touched  with  the  author's  irre- 
pressible fun.  The  real  worth  of  this  story  has  been 
rather  lost  sight  of— a  pity— for  greater  popularity 
might  h.ive  inspired  the  author  to  further  etfort  in  a 
similar  vein.  813.40.

Collins,  William  Wilkie.     [1824-1889.] 

English  novelist  of  middle  period  of  19th  century. 
He  was  a  master  in  construction  of  intricate  plots 
and  direct,  convincing  narrative.  In  developing  the 
awfullcst  mystery,  or  untying  the  hardest  knots,  his 
method  was  marvellously  clear  and  his  vision  of  the 
end  unclouded.  Some  of  his  people  are  rather  im- 
pressive villains,  but  mostly  they  count  only  as  figures 
for  carrying  on  the  action.  He  was  really  a  great 
story-teller,  independent  of  school,  or  fashion,  or  fad.

New  York  writer  of  short  stories.  An  original  and 
witty  observer  of  New  York  life.  His  incidents  are 
short  and  swiftly  narrated  in  a  light,  brilliant  style. 
In  his  best  characterizations,  the  dude  and  the  street 
Arab,  he  shows  that  creative  ability  which  gathers  the

One  word  of  comment  on  this  highly  reapectable  cast- 
away would  be  an  insult  to  fame  won  nearly  two  centu- 
ries ago,  and  growing  as  we  increase  and  multiply  uiion 
the  earth.  The  uuthor  wasdistinctly  the  father  of  Eng- 
lish realistic  fiction  No  matter  how  romantic  and  im- 
probable his  conception,  his  aim  was  to  make  it  ap|>ear 
perfectly  true  by  a  matter-of-fact  statement,  supiKirted 
by  minutely  detailed  circumstantial  evidence.  He  suc- 
ceeded so  well  tha'  many  of  his contemp<iraries mistook 
his  ironical  theological  dis(|uisitions  for  serious  arf(u- 
ments.  To  this  day  no  presumably  authentic  historical 
document  commands  half  as  many  faithful  believers 
as  docs  "  The  Life  and  Surprising  Adventures  of  Robin- 
son Crusoe  of  York,  Mariner."  823.61. 

Deland,  Mrs.  Margaret    [1857- .] 

A  Pennsylvania  novelist.  She  represents  people 
struggling  with  principles  and  moral  ideas.  The 
scenes  are  generally  in  Pennsylvania,  and  the  drama 
which  is  subjective  shows  the  Puritan  conscience  in  re- 
lation to  modern  freedom  of  thought.  The  arguments

De  laRame,  Louisa  ("Ouida").  [1840-.] 

English  novelist.  Her  powerful  and  picturesque  im- 
aginiition  runs  riot  in  the  delineation  of  extravagantly 
splendid  and  generally  immoral  nobles,  contrasted  with 
improbable  [peasants,  who  are  -idowed  by  nature  with 
either  phenomenal  beauty  or  Luent.  No  representation 
of  any  kind  of  life  could  be  more  ridiculously  remote 
from  truth.  Nevertheless  there  are  single  episodes  and 
scenes  in  many  of  her  books  that  are  described  in  a 
rarely  beautiful  way,  exciting  enthusiasm  for  physical 
courage,  or  touching  deeply  the  emotions  of  pity  for 
misfortune.  Her  good  qualities  are  most  evident  and 
her  defects  least  conspicuous  in  :  823.89.

Canadian  novelist.  For  tales  of  adventure,  mystery

lost  his  grip  on  the  plot  and  floated  about  aimlessly.

Diokena,  Oharlei.    [1812-1870.] 

English  novelist  of  middle  period  of  19th  century. 
For  extravagant  comedy  and  caricature  he  is  un- 
equalled. He  created  hosts  of  people  who  for  his  con- 
tem|><)raries,  at  least,  were  as  real  as  most  of  their  ac- 
quaintances, and  far  more  amusing.  His  genius  was 
essentially  British,  expressing  physical  health  and  high 
spirits  with  a  serious  attachment  for  home  and  homely 
virtues.  This  excellent  sentiment  frequently  led  him 
into  effusive  sentimentality,  and  made  him  tiresome  and 
dull.  His  serious  object  was  to  exhibit  virtue  and 
purity  existing  in  mfwt  difficult  conditiims,  and  to  ex- 
pose the  grievances  of  the  poor.  Thus  his  works 
effected  decisive  public  reforms.  In  only  one  or  two  of 
his  later  books  did  he  achieve  a  firm,  coherent  plot,  and 
he  never  had  any  notion  of  literary  form.  In  spite  of 
technical  imperfection  he  remains  one  of  the  great 
figures  in  the  literature  of  his  century.  823.83.

Said  to  contain  descriptions  of  the  author's  youth.  It 
embodies  a  sentimental  and  rather  tragic  tale  which  has 
been  frequently  dramatized  The  great  comic  charac- 
ters are  the  Micawbers.  Uriah  Heap,  hypocrite  and 
sneak,  illustrates  one  of  the  author's  faults— the  per- 
sonification of  a  single  virtue,  or  vice,  set  forth  as  the 
portrait  ot  an  actual  man  or  woman.

DUraell,    Benjamin,    Earl    of    Beaconafield. 

[1805-1881.] 

Posterity  perhaps  gets  its  clearest  notion  of  the 
great  English  Jew  from  his  novels,  the  writing  of 
which  w.ts  for  him  diversion  from  |M)Iitical  enterprises. 
Under  fictitious  names  they  eulogize  or  satirize  cele- 
brated statesmen  (from  1830  to  1870),  describe  the  rise 
and  fall  of  governments  and  the  reasons  thereof.  They 
express  intellectual  brilliancy.  Intimate  knowledge  of 
the  superficial  life  of  a  great  world,  sympathy  with  the 
strong,  a  barbaric  love  of  rind  reverence  for  iH>wer, 
rank,  luxury,  and  a  keen  eye  for  theatrical  siwctacle. 
At  the  time  of  publication  the  identification  >>f  Dis- 
raeli's characters  with  iwrsonages  prominent  in  social 
and  (mlitical  life  was  eitsily  made.  His  hooks  abound 
in  epigrams  and  phrases  which  have  passed  into  com- 
mon s|>eech.

Du  Maurier,  Oeorge.    [  1834- .] 

Gntflisli  artist  and  novelist.  Hissurprisinf;RUCces.sin 
lictioii  may  owe  something  to  his  reputation  as  an  artist, 
hut  the  quality  of  his  literary  work  is  remarkable 
enou^rh  to  have  launched  an  absolutely  unknown  au- 
thor. Imaginative,  with  great  fluency  and  variety  of 
expression,  keenly  observant  and  capable  of  extremes 
in  emotion,  it  is  quite  to  be  expected  that  his  two  good 
thmgs  may  be  succeeded  by  something  better. 

823.80. 
Peter  Ibhetson.     N.  Y.,  Harper,  $1.50. 

The  animating  idea  is  rarely  imaginative.  Though 
passing  the  bounds  of  probability  it  cai)tivates  the  fancy 
and  would  force  unconditional  acceptance  were  it  not 
tiM)  much  elaborated.  The  first  chapters  describing 
family  life  at  Passy  are  charming,  and  the  subsequent 
tragedy  most  justly  arrived  at  through  character  and 
event. 

TkiLitY.     N.  Y.,  Harper,  Si. 75. 

Better  when  regarded  as  a  reminiscence  of  the  au- 
thor's youth  in  Paris  than  as  a  novel.  Trilby  is  really 
notliing  more  than  a  peg  <m  which  to  hang  vivacious 
sketches  of  i>eople.  places  and  incidents.  The  author's 
ecstatic  descriptions  of  his  heroine  are  not  made  good 
by  her  recorded  deeds  and  words.  There  is  nothing 
wholly  t)robable  about  her.  The  style  is  very  different 
from  the  careful,  easy  How  of  Peter  Ibbetson,  being 
scrappy  and  colloquial,  pointed  and  very  lively.

Bdgewortb,  Maria.    [1767-1849.] 

Irish  novelist  and  writer  of  talcs  in  late  years  of  i>th 
century  and  first  half  of  19th.  Miss  Kdgeworth  has 
been  mimt  highly  esteemed  for  her  tales  for  children, 
but  her  tales  nf  Irish  life  and  character  are  really  her 
b«'st  work.  Sir  Waller  Scott  said  that  "  the  rich  humor, 
pathetic  tenderness  and  admirable  tact  of  her  Irish  |Hir- 
trait! first  set  him  thinkmg  that  something  might  be 
done  for  his  own  countrymen."  She  tiH)k  up  the  Ab- 
sentee I.andloid  question,  the  land  question,  and,  in 
fact,  all  the  questions  which  |)ermanently  agitate  the 
Irish  mind.  Her  tales  of  English  fashionable  life  show 
much  observation  and  spirit  in  delineation  The 
artistic  effect  is  injured  and  the  utility  impaired  by  a 
too  obvious  moral  intention  and  conventional  award  of 
happiness  to  the  virtuous  and  ruin  to  the  foolish  or 
vicious.  823.72.

earliest  reproducers  or  inventors  of  local  dialect.  His 
characters  are  vigorous,  frequently  humorous,  and, 
though  not  always  interesting,  have  the  substance  of 
drawings  from  life.  Of  late  years  Mr,  Eggleston  has 
resided  in  New  York  and  devoted  himself  to  writing 
history.  813.42.

Sir  Walter  Siott  is  her  only  ei|ual  in  EnKlisli  prose  fic- 
tKin.  GeorKc  Eliot  may  be  rcKarded  as  the  first  of  the 
m<xlrrns.  Heroes  whose  deeds  shine  twfore  men  had 
no  attraction  for  her;  she  took  no  interest  in  the  fxce|i- 
tional,  the  daxzlini;  or  the  pitturckiue  ;  she  had  appar- 
ently no  belief  in  primitive  human  emotion  or  passion 
uninfluenced  by  thought  or  reason  as  the  spring  of  ac- 
tion. She  ({ave  to  ticlion  a  new  laurel  and  allied  it  with 
abstract  philosophy,  itintul  and  moral.  With  the 
scientist's  ({ift  of  analysis  she  combined  the  artist's 
IMiwer  of  creation.  The  vitality  an<l  completeness  of 
her  liBuri's  and  their  movement  through  her  selected 
train  of  circumstances  towards  the  loffical  destiny  of 
character  are  the  masterly  expression  of  both  the  ana- 
lytic and  cre.-itive  mind.  The  one  principle  to  which 
she  was  devoutly  attached  was  that  of  duty,  the  idea 
of  the  nobility  of  self -sacrilice,  and  the  erne  just  criti- 
cism involving  her  whole  work  is  that  this  attachment 
to  a  splendid  iilea  of  riKht  leaves  a  <li>pressinK  realiza- 
tion of  theunmitiKate<l  sorrow  of  livinjf.  No  novelist 
ever  exercised  a  profounder  moral  influence  on  contem- 
poraries, and  none  has  delivered  so  clear  and  strong  a

Very  particular  criticism  would  be  needful  to  indicate 
the  superiority  of  any  one  of  these  six  novels  of  Eng- 
lish rural  and  village  life.  Each  in  a  way  is  as  (;o<>d 
as  the  others,  and  all  are  true  to  nature  and  a  i^rand 
ideal.  For  mere  form  "  .Adam  Bede  "  is  the  most  artis- 
tic, "  Middlemarch"  has  the  widest,  most  comprehen- 
sive scheme,  and  "  The  Mill  on  the  Floss"  is  the  most 
touching  and  pathetic. 

Daniel  Deronda.  N.  Y.,  Harper,  2  vols.,

paper,  25  c. 

In  the  title  character  the  author  loses  her  Krasp,  and 
for  once  is  sentimental  and  ineffective.  I.entftny  ex- 
positions of  Jewish  faith  and  customs  retard  the  move- 
ment, and  the  Jewish  characters  do  not  involve  much 
interest  or  sympathy.  Gwendolin  Harleth  is  one  of 
her  most  original  characterizations. 

Romola.  N.  Y.,  Harper,  75  c.;  Lovell, 
Coryell,  50  c;  Munro,  paper,  25  c. 
The  scene  is  in  Florence  under  the  rule  of  Lorenzo 
di  Medici.  The  revival  of  taste  for  Greek  ideals  in  let- 
ters and  art  is  splendidly  contrasted  with  the  austere 
giety  of  Savonarola.  The  story  is  very  fascinating  and 
eautiful,  but  the  character  of  Romola  does  not  appear 
to  be  in  harmony  with  her  age.  race  and  circumstances. 
She  is  a  serious,  conscientious,  high-minded,  modern 
English  woman  rather  than  a  medieval  Florentine.

with  frunk  recognition  of  the  une<|H'cled  variations  in

and  extremes  of  fortune.  From  the  pilgrimage  of  the

Tbcb<M)kon  which  the  author's  reputation  will  prob- 
ably rest.  An  Englishman,  unknown  in  letters,  it 
brought  him  immense  notoriety.  The  actiim  is  very 
rapid,  the  situations  are  dramatic,  and  susgiensc  is  finely 
held  to  the  end.  In  the  few  years  intervening  between 
publication  of  his  first  biKik  and  his  death  tne  author 
wrote  several  stories  in  the  same  vein,  but  none  nearly 
so  good.  823.80. 

Fatjeon,  Benjamin  Leopold.    [1833-.] 

English  novelist.  His  numerous  books  include  al- 
most every  variety  of  plot,  turning  on  strange  adven- 
ture, love  and  crime  of  almost  intinite  degrees  of  enor- 
mity. Many  of  his  scenes  are  in  Australia,  hut  most  of 
them  in  London.  His  observati(m  of  vagabonds  and 
outcasts  is  wide,  and  his  sympathy  with  them  some- 
times misplaced.  In  drawing  eccentric  and  comic 
characters  he  shows  ability  akin  to  that  of  Dickens,  by 
whom  he  was  undoubtedly  influenced.  He  has  also 
Dickens'  tendency  towardsmelixirama  and  sentimental- 
ity. Fluent  in  composition,  ingenious  in  construction 
and  amusing  in  dialogue,  any  of  his  stories  provides 
an  hour's  distraction.     Among  the  best  are:     823.89.

Fialding,  Henry.    [.707-1754-] 

English  18th  century  novelist.  A  Kreat  fiffure;  many 
think  the  greatest  in  English  fiction.  Inspired  by 
a  desire  to  travesty  the  sentimental,  analytic  work 
of  his  contemfxirary,  Richardson,  his  genius  con- 
quered his  mischievous  intention  and  launched  him 
in  the  delineation  of  the  life  that  he  knew,  the  scenes  he 
had  shared  and  the  (wnplc  he  loved,  hated  or  despised. 
This  life  was,  on  the  whole,  not  a  decent  one,  the 
scenes  were  not  tinically  refined,  and  his  likes  and  dis- 
likes were  not  distributed  on  the  principle  of  admira- 
tion for  austere  virtue  or  propriety.  Hut  he  never 
stooped  to  conceal  or  palliate,  rarely  to  a|H 'Iodize.  He 
was  witty,  satirical,  humorous,  pathetic  and  unimpeach- 
ably  sincere.  His  work  rests  on  its  intrinsic  sincerity, 
the  effects  wrought  by  romantic  imagination  and  by 
picturesque  rhetoric  were  unknown  to  him.  As  his 
heroes  were  far  from  patterns  of  civil  or  domestic  vir- 
tue, the  general  respectable  public  of  the  19th  century 
long  cherished  the  notion  that  he  was  profoundly  im- 
moral. The  good  men  he  drew  were  ignored,  his 
detestation  for  hyi>ocrisy  and  deceit  overlooked,  and 
not  a  whisper  heard  of  his  admiration  for  loyalty,  brav- 
ery  and  charity.  This  tendency  still  needs  correction. 
The  strongest  impressions  received  from  a  book  are 
neces.sarily  those  to  which  the  reader'"  mind  is  most 
open  ;  it  seems  incredible  that  |)ersons  of  sense  and 
intelligence  can  derive  from  Fielding  only  the  impres- 
sion of  wickedness  rejoicing.  823.62. 

History  of  Tom  Jones,  a  Foundling.  N.  Y., 
Lovell,  Coryell,  $1;  Routledge,  paper,  50  c. 

A  famous  American  said  all  that  is  necessary  about 
this  novel  when  he  remarked,  "this  is  noi  a  book, 
but  a  man."  It  was  not  written  for  children  or  young 
girls,  and  they  probably  would  not  be  paid  to  read 
It  It  is  one  of  the  mileposts  in  the  great  tradition  of 
English  letters. 

Amelia.     N.  Y.,  Lovell,  Coryell,  $1;  Rout- 
ledge, paper,  25  c. 

Of  all  the  author"  s  books  the  most  agreeable  to 
women  and  least  offensive  to  modern  taste.  The 
intermittent  remorse  of  Captain  Booth  for  his  back- 
sliding shows  the  author  more  severe  on  sins  of  the 
flesh  than  in  his  two  earlier  books.  "  Amelia"  is  said, 
on  gtxxl  authority,  to  have  been  carefully  drawn  from 
Fielding's  own  wife  With  due  allowance  for  a  facility 
in  fainting,  apparently  common  to  ladies  of  her  period, 
she  is  a  lovely  and  lovable  |>ers<m,a  type  of  the  good 
women  of  all  periods  and  countries.

English  novelist  of  middle  period  of  19th  century. 
She  described  the  social  and  domestic  life  of  her  day 
gracefully  and  clearly,  uniting  wilh  it  lively  mind,  wide 
sympathy,  humor,  and  tenderness  for  humanity.  Her 
women,  even  when  youth  and  beauty  have  faded, have

A  delightful  picture  of  English  village  life  when 
ladies  went  about  in  |x>ke-honnctH  and  pattens.  I  he 
delineation  of  genteel  poverty  and  the  shifts  of  refined, 
timorous  ladies  to  keeti  up  ap(>eurances,  of  their  pleas- 
ures tnd  pains  and  absorbing  interest  in  each  other's 
affairs,  is  uncommonly  touching  and  amusing  and  an  ex- 
ample uf  delicate  literary  art. 

Mary  Barton.     N.  Y.,  Scribner,  $1  ;  WaiJ,

The  scene  is  in  Manchester  during  the  very  hard 
times  preceding  the  enactment  of  free-trade  laws  in 
England.  The  |M-ople  are  mostly  poor  factory  opera- 
tives, and  the  strength  of  Mrs.  Ciaskell's  presentation 
of  their  hardships  excited,  at  the  time,  much  public 
sympathy.  1  he  story  is  natural,  pathetic,  and  not  sen- 
timental.

like  many  modern  realists,  to  harp  on  the  dreary  and 
rather  awful  phases  of  existence.  His  people  are

A  forerunner  of  the  modern  purpose-novel,  published 
in  1794.  The  author's  motive  was  to  promulgate  hia 
(then)  revolutionary  notions  of  the  perfectibility  of  man 
and  of  the  need  of  legal  and  social  reforms.  He  wa» 
fascinated  by  theories  of  Rousseau  and  by  the  animat- 
ing ideas  of  the  French  Revolution.  The  story, 
though  not  feeble  in  drama,  is  interesting  chiefly  for 
its  place  in  the  history  of  letters.  823.70.

Dorset  isliischosen  field.  Thoroughly  ac>|iiainted  with 
the  history  of  the  country,  as  well  as  with  Us  modern 


life,  he  depicts  the  intliience  of  new  ways  and  new 
ideas,  breaking  up  trad.tional  customs  ami  convulsing 
char;'  ■  er  f)ut  recently  l»rought  in  contact  with  the

lirm.  and,  though  the  detail  of  description  of  scene  and 
cii  imstance  is  minute  and  the  characters  involved  in 
the  action  are  of  great  variety,  he  manages  to  preserve 
unity  and  to  give  the  impression  that  every  part  is  es- 
sential to  completeness  of  the  whole.  I.ife,  as  he  sees 
it,  is  tragic  or  comic  -ul  either  way  not  very  pleasant. 
Humanity  under  his  interpretation  appears  far  from 
adinir.ible,  yet  he  compels  us  for  the  time  to  accept  his 
view.  His  women,  especially  those  whom  lie  appears 
really  to  care  lor,  are  more  remarkable  for  violent  ani- 
mal instinct  than  for  any  menial  or  spiritual  grace.  ( )n

pal incident  is  a  favorite  one  with  cheap  sensational 
novelists,  but  is  handled  by  the  author  with  originality 
and  truth.  The  movement  is  dramatic  and  the  charac- 
ters thoughtfully  and  couragiDusly  drawn.  The  pay- 
ment exacted  for  sin  is  shown  to  depend  on  the  tern 
perainent  and  character  of  the  sinner.

made  his  home  in  England.  The  tirst  to  celebrate  the 
"  forty-niners  "and  other  pioneers  of  the  Pacific  coast. 
Many  have  followed  him,  few  equalled  and  none  ex- 
celled him.  With  a  natural  gift  for  literary  expression 
and  form,  a  sympathy  with  vagabonds  and  outcasts, 
and  much  experience  of  rougli-and-rea:ly  phases  of 
life,  he  was  pre-eminently  fitted  to  make  a  ligure  in 
American  literature.  His  later  stories  have  neither  the 
originality  nor  authority  of  the  earlier,  but  are  gen- 
erally far  above  mediocrity.  813.40.

The  Prisoner  of  Zenda.     N.  Y.,  Holt,  75  c. 

An  admirable  story,  very  romantic  in  conception 
and  real  in  presentation.  The  chain  of  impossible  cir- 
stances  is  perfectly  linked,  and  the  characters  are  so 
life-like  and  interestina  that  the  impossibility  of  all  is  a 
cold  afterthought.  The  hero,  though  a  modern  Eng-

immeasurably  less  subtle  and  retined.  His  books  are

New  England  writer  of  novels  and  tales  of  middle

can novelist  and  the  linest  exponent  in  literature  of 
New  England  Puritanism  and  mysticism,  that  is,  a  com- 
bination of  exalted  imagination  and  conscience.  The 
great  strength  of  his  delineation  is  on  the  spiritual  side, 
and  the  struggle  between  ihellesh  and  the  spirit  is  ever 
uppermost.  His  sense  of  the  dramatic  and  picturesque 
wassulticient  for  action  and  situation,  but  he  never  de- 
pended i>n  cither  for  elTect.  As  a  writer  of  beautiful 
imaginatis-e  prose  no  other  American  is  his  e<iual  and 
few  Englishmen  are  his  superiors.  813.33.

her  characters  fnmi  the  middle  and  upper  classes,  she 
develops  them  with  composure  through  the  not  too 
thrilling  vicissitudes  ol  a  somewhat  mechanical,  care- 
fully built  plot.  Her  good  people  (especially  women) 
are  n.itural  and  pleasing,  a  little  garrulous;  her  bad  are

Howells,  William  Dean.    [1837-.] 

norn  in  Ohio,  resides  in  New  York,  poet,  novelist, 
and  miscellaneous  writer.  In  his  literary  career  he, 
an  .apostle  of  realism  in  fiction,  has  been  most  faithful 
to  one  idea,  the  delineation  of  American  life,  particu- 
larly that  of  New  England,  in  its  least  exceptional  as- 
pect. To  be  properly  understood  and  appreciated  he 
must  be  judged  by  all  his  work  and  not  by  single  vol- 
umes. It  is  true  that,  on  the  whole,  he  seems  to  ignore 
the  existence  of  deep  emotion  and  passion  and  their 
enormous  influence  on  human  destiny,  but  this  appar- 
ent limitation  is  fairly  explained  by  the  fact  that  the 
people  whom  he  represents  are  really  more  intelligent 
than  emotional,  more  practical  than  passionate.  A 
fairer  criticism  would  refer  to  his  c-^mparative  neglect 
of  the  finely  intellectual  or  spiritual  New  Englander, 
but  ag,-im  It  must  be  remembered  that  this  man  is  not 
so  comnKm  as  he  was  in  the  generation  just  passing 
away  when  Mr.  Howells  began  to  write.  His  latest 
novels  dwell  more  on  the  American's  likeness  to  the 
rest  of  humanity  than  on  hisdeviations  from  theeternal 
type.  This  is  not .  mge,  but  development,  partly  ac- 
counted for  by  an  c\,inded  sphere  of  observation,  and 
partly,  perhaps,  by  the  wider  understanding  and  deepe 
sympathy  which  years  bring  to  one  who  thinks  md 
feels.  Of  his  vivacity  in  portraiture,  his  humorand  wit, 
it  is  unnecessary  to  speak;  his  severest  critics  lave 
never  questioned  them.  813.43,

Tames,  Henry.    [1843-.] 

Born  in  New  York,  resident  in  England.  As  a 
writer  of  short  stories  and  novels,  he  is  a  famous  repre- 
sentative (It  the  analytical  and  psychic  school.  His 
attention  is  given  to  examination  of  mind  and  feeling 
rather  than  to  action.  Like  Mr.  Howells,  with  whom 
in  years  and  reputation  he  is  contemporary,  he  began 
with  studies  of  American  character,  but  preferred  the 
American  abrcid  to  the  American  at  home.  The  jus- 
tice and  subtlety  of  his  perceptions  are  as  indisputable 
as  are  the  correctness  of  his  literary  form  and  the  fine- 
ness of  his  expression.  He  has  always  had  the  light, 
swift  touch  and  the  perfection  of  ironical  humor.  But 
more  and  more  he  hasabandoncd  himself  to  the  perfect- 
ing of  the  word,  and  thus  separated  himself  from  the 
public.  He  is  not  human  enough  to  attract  popular  re- 
gard. Nevertheless,  any  one  who  is  willing  to  learn  to 
admire  skilled  literary  workmanship,  to  know  how 
subtle  and  delicate  an  art  that  of  expression  is,  cannot 
do  better  than  study  Mr.  James  in  all  his  works.

Jewett,  Sarah  Orne.    [1849-.] 

New  England  novelist  and  writer  of  tales  and 
sketches.  Many  writers  have  att-icked  New  England 
life  and  character  with  good  effect,  but  none  has 
given  so  truthful  and  vivid  an  expression,  within 
limitations,  as  Miss  Jewett.  She  is  especially  the  in- 
terpreter of  women  living  on  lonely  farms  and  in 
small  villages.  Their  bare  external  life,  their  moral 
courage,  their  eccentric  tempers  and  ironical  humor 
are  set  forth  with  infinite  sympathy,  skill,  and  variety. 
Always  free  from  extravagance,  she  has  attained  an 
ease  and  naturalness  which  are  the  crowning  graces  of 
literary  art.    All  her  stories  are  good.  813.49.

the  luck  to  be  written  by  one  who  for  wisdom  ran  Solo-

and  romantic.  With  an  enthusiasm  for  heroic  virtue, 
wide  cultivation  and  profound  religious  sentiment,  he 
was  well  lilted  t<>  describe  both  ph\'sicai  prowess  and

the  better,  and  his  indication  of  comple.x  character  more

A  great  story-teller.  The  only  Englishman  equal  to 
the  best  French  and  American  writers  of  short  tales  and 
sketches.  Whatever  he  writes  is  life  itself.  For  trag- 
edy and  comedy,  whether  illustrated  in  action  or  char- 
acter, his  gift  is  remarkable.  He  may  be  said  to  have 
intro-luced  India  to  Europe  and  America, and  especially 
to  have  immortalized  "  Tommy  Atkins,"  the  British 
soldier.  He  has  defects  of  man  .er  and  expression,  as- 
surance that  touches  impertinem  e,  and  frankness  that 
reaches  coarsen'  ss  and  brutality.  A  modification  of 
such  offences  i' gainst  taste  is  Jesirable,  but  tliey  do  not

iiri>;inality  he  combines  large  worldly  experience  and 
so  much  knowledge  of  ancient  and  modern  literature

cultivation.  His  contributions  to  liction  are  not  im-

The  Watf.rs  of  Herciles.     Lond.,   Hlack- 
wood,  3s.  6d.;  N.  Y.,  Harper,  paper,  25  c. 

.■\n  excellent  romantic  novel.  The  scene  is  on  the 
borilersof  Hungary  and  Roumania.  The  descriptions 
of  country  and  people,  little  known  to  the  Western 
world,  are  vivid  and  charmingly  interwoven  with  an- 
cient legend.    The  drama  is  well  litted  to  its  setting.

Lever,  Charles.     [1S0O-1S72.] 

The  great  Irish  novelist.  His  delineation  of  hisown 
countrymen  ecguals  in  vividness,  though  perhaps  not  in 
variety,  that  of  the  Scotch  people  by  Scott.  His  best 
novels  describe  military  and  romantic  adventure  and 
present  in  succession  thrilling  situations,  amusing 
scrapes  and  blunders.  Extravagant  fun,  reckless 
daring,  and  high  spirits  characterize  his  prominent 
figures.  In  his  later  days  the  spirit  v.aned,  but  to  the

Irish  poet  and  novelist.  .-\s  funny  as  Lever,  his 
contemiH>rary  and  compatriot,  he  was  not  so  romantic 
or  picturesiine.  His  deep  sympathy  with  his  own  peo-

little  cajiacity  for  delineating  any  but  the  comic  side  of 
character,  so  his  books  are  most  enjoyable  taken  in 
fragments,  and  not  all  at  once.  823.80.

est is  in  what  people  do,  not  what  they  are;  they  are 
often  immoral,  but  the  author's  intention  is  not  vicious, 
and  the  worst  that  may  be  said  of  her  books  is  that  the

Porter's  so-called  historical  romances  were  more  ro- 
mantic than  historical.  In  tirs  novel  the  heroism  of 
Sir  William  Wallace  is  the  theme  — pitched  in  a  superla- 
tively hemic  key.  Though  the  conception  of  character 
Is  purely  imaginative  ami  the  style  stilted,  the  iiarrative 
is  conducted  with  spirit  ;  tlii'  motive  to  inspire  in  the

The  best  r>f  the  atitlior's  works  and  typical  of  all. 
Intensely  serious  and  appealing  to  the  passion  i>l  fe.ir. 
both  of  physical  peril  and  unknown  supernatural  tiaii- 
KCrs.  The  liter;iry  principle  involved  is  of  sustained 
mystery  and  suspense.  The  scene  is  in  I*aris  tow.irds 
the  enil  of  the  17th  century;  the  general  theme  the 
woes  of  a  matchless  maiden  brought  about  by  tlu- 
machinations  of  an  unspeakable  villain.  t"»reat  use  is 
maile  of  gloomy  scenery  and  awe-inspirin(.r  weather. 
The  sliding:  panel,  subterranean  (lassakie,  and  hideous 
farrily  secret,  remain  with  us  to  attest  Mrs.  Kadcliffe's

Ifi.'^.)-i7fii.] 


Kn^lish  i.Stli  century  novelist.  Hisonly  predecessor 
in  the  art  of  sentimental  analysis  was  the  Kli/.ibelhan, 
Sir  Philip  Siilney,  whose  "  Arcailia  "  Riihardson  per- 
haps never  read.  His  novels,  written  as  letters,  de- 
scribe women  in  love,  their  menial  aj;onies  and  joys, 
with  all  the  innumerable  intermediati' staRcs  thereof. 
They  are  wonderful  performances  but  inexpressibly 
tedious.  The  sentiment  is  ever>'lhiiifj,  the  attion 
nothing.  The  author's  declared  inlention  was  to  p.  >- 
mole  the  love  ami  practice  of  virtue.  Hut  on  ex- 
mination  his  idea  of  virtue  appears  restricted,  a  mat- 
ter of  form  rather  than  of  essence,  and  the  results  as- 
cribed to  its  observance  or  ne^nect  are  quite  remote 
from  actual  experience.  Hi- w.is  worshipped  by  ccn- 
lemporary  ladies  of  "  sensibility";  his  books  had  a 
marked  influence  both  on  Kiif^lish  and  French  ticiion.

Scott,  Sir  Walter.     [1771-1S32.] 

Scotch  novelist.  Chief  among  writers  of  prose  tic- 
tion  in  English,  and.  if  greatness  may  be  measured  by 
the  amount  of  happiness  given  to  humanity,  one  of  the 
greatest  and  best  of  men.  For  nearly  seventy  years  his 
novels  have  ilelighted  millions  of  people  of  every  civ- 
ilized country  and  his  p'  ularity  does  not  wane.  To 
the  young  he  is  especially  cnarming,  and  if  it  is  well  to 
implant  in  children  admiration  for  the  noblest  virtues, 
courage  physical  and  moral,  truth,  loyalty  and  purity 
of  life,  his  boolis  are  the  very  best  that  can  be  given  to 
them.  He  wroie  with  i8th  century  realism  and  ro- 
manticism, and,  by  a  remarkable  balance  of  t|ualities, 
gave  the  combination  unity  and  poetry.  In  greatness 
of  heart,  sympathy,  ami  versatility,  he  is  own  brother 
to  Shakespeare.  His  novels  are  all  historical,  but  some 
only  in  the  sense  of  depicting  bygone  social  life  and 
manners.  In  characterization  he  laid  stress  on  essen- 
tial, eternal  human  <|ualities,  and  thus  his  people  are 
antifiuated  only  111  unimportant  matters  of  speech  and 
manners.  823.73.

In  1816  the  poets  Byron  anil  Shelley  and  Mrs.  Shelley 
were  living  in  Switzerland,  and,  inspired  by  German 
myths,  ail  three  wrote  divers  tales  of  horror.  Of  these 
Mrs.  Shelley's  "Frankenstein"  was  the  most  success- 
ful. Frankenstein  creates  a  heinf;  tormed  like  a  man.  a 
giant  of  strength,  a  demon  of  evil.  The  impossibility 
of  in.iny  incidents  is  often  evident,  but  the  whole  is 
powerfullv  imagined  and  e.vcites  prolonged,  genuine 
terror.  823.79.

scene  is  in  the  reign  of  Charles  I.,  and  the  differences 
of  religious  opinion  in  the  Roman  Catholic  Church  are 
cleverly  set  forth.  The  romance  is  interesting  and  the

She  has  perpetrated  about  lifty  novels,  dniitcd 
chiefly  to  the  narration  of  various  crimes  and  the  con- 
trasting of  hideous  villains  with   patterns  of  virtue. 


Her  distortion  of  truth  and  fact  i.s  wonderful,  and  her 
sentimentality  appalling.  Nevertheless,  her  books 
continue  to  be  devoured  by  a  reading  public  which 
would  doubtless  be  wiser  and  more  sensible  if  it  had

Stevenson,    Robert  Louis    (Balfour).     [1.^50- 

Scotch  novelist,  liistoric.il  and  modern.  He  com- 
bined with  extraordinary  skill  romantic  adventure  and 
psychical  analysis.  In  most  of  his  work  the  interests 
of  direct  sustained  narrative  and  of  the  conllict  between 
(,'oo<l  and  evil  are  indissolubly  linked  together.  His 
style  is  imaj;inative,  elevated,  and  discreetly  restrained. 
It  has  the  personal  charm,  iinpressiveness,  and  dis- 
tinction which  f;ive  classic  dignity.  Considering  the 
jiroj^ress  toward  perfection  discernible  in  his  works, 
had  he  lived  longer,  he  would  probably  have  ranked 
with  the  very  greatest  writers  of  liction.  Love  plays 
but  a  subordinate  part  in  his  r.omances,  and  he  has 
drawn  the  portraits  of  very  few  women.  823.80.

The  action  is  chiefly  in  Scotland  shortly  after  the 
risint;  in  support  of  I'rince  Charlie  in  1745.  The  stories 
are  told  by  Uavid  lialfuur,  a  Lowlander  and  a  Whi);, 
through  whose  mouth  the  author  manages  very  adroit- 
ly to  excite  sympathy  with  the  Stuarts  and  their  High- 
land followers.  No  better  stories  at  once  romantic  and 
real  were  ever  written.

Short  stories  of  the  highest  merit. 

Several  of  Mr.  Stevenson's  later  t)ooks  were  written 
in  collaboration  with  his  stepson,  Mr.  I.toyd  Os- 
bourne,  and  narrate  adventures  in  the  South  Seas. 
These  are  neither  as  interesting  nor  artistic  as  the 
stories  by  Mr.  Stevenson  alone  : 

The  Wrecker.     N.  Y.,  Scribner,  $1.50. 

The  o|)ening  chapters,  descriptive  of  artists'  life  in 
Paris,  are  interesting  for  their  own  sake,  but  do  not  pre 
pare  the  reader  for  the  wild  adventures,  commercial  and 
riimantic,  which  follow.  The  climax  of  the  story  is 
brutal,  but  absolutely  demanded  to  cut  tlie  complicated 
knot  of  circumstance. 

The   Ehh   Tide.     Chic,    Stone  &    Kimball, 


Illustrates  Mr.  Stevenson's  il.iminating  motives, 
narration  of  adventure,  and  interpretation  of  character 
subjected  to  extraordinary  temptations.  There  are 
chapters  written  in  Mr.  Stevenson's  very  best  manner. 

Stockton,  Francis  Richard.    [1S34-.] 

A  Philadelphian.  His  stories,  even  when  they  nar-

and  grotes(|ue.  His  strength  is  in  pure  invention  of  an 
impossible  situation,  which  he  proceeds  with  great 
gravity  and  delightful  humortomake  appear  probable, 
He  is  pre-eminently  original  and  amusing  in  short

Stowe,    Mrs.    Harriet    Iilizabeth    (Beecher). 

[1S12-.] 

New  England  novelist.  She  observed  ch.tracter 
keenly  and  with  much  humor.  Her  stories  and  sketches 
of  New  England  life,  forty  or  fifty  years  ago,  appear  to 
be  jierfectly  true  and  preserve  pictures  of  customs  and 
types  of  mind  tiiat  have  passed  away.  813.37.

U.Nci.E  Tom's  Cadin.  Host.,  Houghton,  50c. 
and  iji;  paper,  25  c.  and  50  c. 

This  is  one  of  the  most  famous  of  "timely"  books. 
It  was  not  half  true,  it  was  written  with  passion  and 
prciudice  and  it  accnmplished  what  all  the  cool,  judicial 
statements  in  the  world  w<juld  have  failed  in.  To  this 
day  there  are  probably  people  who  derive  from  Mrs. 
Stowe's  highly  imaginative  presentation  their  only 
notions  of  slavery  days  in  the  South.  It  is  impossi- 
ble to  separate  the  fictitious  case  from  the  actual,  but 
since  the  passionate  antagonisms  of  that  time  have  been 
lor  ■  dead  and  the  fiction  still  survives,  it  is  fair  to  as- 
sume that  the  book  has  vital  <|ualities  all  its  own.  '

The  irony  of  destiny  in  the  case  of  Swift  is  in  noth- 
ing more  conspicuous  than  in  the  spectacle  of  hissavage 
political  and  social  satire  surviving,  far  into  its  second 
century,  as  an  entertaining  extravagance  much  en- 
joyed by  children.  Assuming  absurdities,  Swift  pro- 
ceetls  to  make  them  real  by  his  own  perfect  gravity, 
and  by  the  minuteness  of  detail  which  gives  verisimili- 
tude to  the  central  enormity.  823.5.

Thackeray,  William  Makepeace.   [1811-1863.] 

English  novelist  of  middle  periotl  of  19th  century. 
The  legitimate  successor  of  Henry  Fiekling,  in  his 
books  realism  presents  a  different  aspect  reflecting 
the  changed  spirit  and  taste  of  his  time  and  his  own 
high-bred  personality.  His  satire  is  as  keen  as  Field- 
ing's, yet  more  delicate  ;  his  imagination  freer,  and  his 
criticism  of  life  ennobled  by  a  permanent  reg.ird  for 
ideal  beauty  in  conduct.  Like  Fielding,  he  deals 
broadly  with  life,  and  his  views  express  wisdom, 
beauty,  and  truth.  Though  his  constructive  ability  has 
been  tiuestioned,  a  close  examination  shows  great  skill 
in  grouping  a  large  number  and  variety  of  characters, 
and  a  just  distinction  between  dramatic  and  theatrical 
etTect.  His  style  is  uniformly  line  anti  fre(iuently  mag- 
nificent. Almost  without  reference  to  the  matter,  the 
manner  interests  the  intelligence,  chaims  the  imagina- 
tion, and  touches  the  emotions.  In  characterization  he 
failed  to  make  his  good  women  interesting,  but  there 
is  no  historical  evidence  to  show  that  good  English- 
women of  his  day  were  not  a  trifle  namby-pamby. 

The  HisroRY  of  Henry  Esmond.  Phila., 
Lippincott,  81.25;  N.  Y.,  Harper,  paper, 
20  c. 

By  many  critics  considered  Thackeray's  best  novel. 
The  plot  is  more  sustained  and  interest  more  concen- 
trated than  in  the  others.  The  story  is  founded  on  the 
connection  of  a  noble  English  family  with  the  fallen 
fortunes  of  the  Stuarts.  The  pictures  of  life  in  the 
yueen  Anne  period  are  unsurpassed  for  vividness  and 
charm.  The  style  illustrates  the  finest  possibilities  of 
imaginative  prose.  Beatri.x  Esmond  is  perhaps  the 
most  brilliant  and  fascinating  woman  in  English  hction. 
The  fortunes  of  the  Esmonds  are  continued  in

TroUope,  Anthony.    [1S15-1SS2.] 

English  novelist  of  middle  period  of  19th  century. 
His  i)eople  belong  to  the  upper  middle-class  and  aris- 
tocracy. Whether  clergymen,  politicians,  bunting 
squires,  positive  autocratic  dames,  or  amiable,  rather 
colorless  damsels,  they  have  the  stamp  of  life  itself. 
His  distinguished  merit  was  in  showing  the  whole 
everyday  life  of  his  people  and  their  interdependence. 
His  defect  a  lack  of  sentiment,  a  tendency  to  linger  on 
the  practical  and  to  extol  the  i.iea  of  getting  on  in 
life— doing  well  for  oneself.  Still  (as  in  the  beautiful 
character  of  the  Warden)  be  shows  himself  apprecia- 
tive of  spirituality  and  selfsacrilice.  His  manner  is 
singularly  dow  nriglit ;  hisstyle  without  grace.  He  had 
a  mania  for  telling  everything,  which  is,  at  times, 
tedious,  and  to  some  minds,  intolerable,  yet  his  work 
will  probably  stand  .is  most  faithful  photography  of  the 
society  in  which  be  moved.  The  volumes  known  as  the 
Harchester  series  thoroughly  represent  the  author  at 
his  best.  The  scenes  are  in  a  cathedral  town  and 
the  country  niund  about.  The  clergy  (bishops,  arch- 
deacons, rectors,  anti  curates)  are  conspicuous  and  ad- 
mirably drawn.  The  scheme  includes  the  life  and  inter- 
ests of  a  county.  There  is  a  thread  of  connection,  but 
each  volume  is  a  complete  story  :  823.87.

life  is  well  observed,  her  strength  is  greatest  in  analysis 
of  dilticulties  mental  and  spiritual.  The  problem  of 
immortality  has  engaged  her  attention  deeply,  ind  her 
ideas  about  a  future  life  arc  original,  frequently 
abounding  in  unconscious  humor.  Her  style  is  on  the 
whole  vigorous  and  clear,  but  she  occasionally  drops 
into  ponderous  obscurity.  813.40. 

The  (iATEs  .\JAR.     Host.,  Houghton,  Si. 50. 

I'ublishcd  about  ai|uarterof  a  century  ago,  attracted 
much  attention  because  of  the  rejection  of  tlie  orthodox, 
theological  idea  of  Heaven,  and  substitution  of  an  ex- 
istence in  which  the  interests  and  occupations  of  this

The  most  famous  English  writer  of  the  modern 
"  purpose-novel,"  that  is  the  novel  which  discussesand 
may  propagate  new  ideas  in  politics,  religion,  or  social 
reform.  Her  books  are  thoughtful  anti  well-informed, 
but  not  artistic.  She  is  a  much  better  preacher  than 
storyteller.  She  has  been  compared  with  George 
Eliot  for  creative  power  and  scholarship.  Such  com- 
parison is  injudicious.  She  has  not  created  but  re- 
flected popular  ideals  ;  her  scholarship  is  not  shown,  as 
was  George  Eliot's,  by  the  talk  appro|)riately  ascribed 
to  certain  characters,  but  by  generalization  and  refer- 
ence to  authors  anil  names  of  books.  Nevertheless,  she 
isa  clever  and  serious  student  ot  complex  modern  so- 
ciety, and  all  her  work  commands  res|>ect.       823.89.

ventional characters  of  French  blood  reappear  on  a 
canvas  largely  taken  up  with  the  aflairs  of  a  sleepy 
village.  As  in  his  preceding  books,  the  author's  reflec- 
tions are  of  searching  quality,  expressed  with  utmost 
directness.  •

Wilson,  Mrs.  Augusta  Jane  Evar.s.    [1838-.] 

Southern  novelist,  remarkable  chiefly  for  her  habit 
o(  pouring  out  quotations  from  and  references  to  an- 
cient Asiatic  literature.  Her  men  are  generally  allur- 
ingly wicked  and  rich  in  the  beginning,  and  angels  (still 
rich),  and  sometimes  in  the  earthly  form  of  clergymen, 
at  the  end.  The  girls,  by  contrast,  are  often  poor,  and 
alw.iys  virtuous.  Hffth  classes  are  monuments  of 
learning  ;  they  dispense  erudition  free  of  charge  with 
reckless  prodigality.  In  miiwl,  manners,  and  feelings 
they  are  incalculably  remote  Irom  any  known  specimens 
of  the  race.  The  author  was  once  very  popular,  but 
with  the  new  wisdom  of  a  new  generation  she  has  (or

scarcely  begun  when  he  entered  the  Northern  .\rmy  in 
the  Civil  War,  and  was  killed  in  one  of  the  earliest  bat- 
tles. His  work  was  almost  all  posthumous,  and  though 
immature,  shows  imagination  of  a  very  high  order.

The  scene  is  in  New  ^'ork  City  and  describes  par-

the  principal  characters  is  said  to  have  been  drawn 
from  a  man  at  the  time  well  known  in  society  and  let- 
ters. The  story  is  imaginative  and  the  struggle  ot 
conflicting  passions  depicted  with  uncommon  power.

Wood,  Mrs.  alien  (Price).     [1S14-1SS7.] 

English  novelist  of  middle  period  of  tgth  century. 
She  ilepended  on  plot,  which  she  constructed  accurate- 
ly and  with  .a  good  sense  of  theatrical  situation  and 
clima.x.  Her  material  was  chiefly  secret  marriages  and 
skeletons  in  closets.  There  is  generally  little  percep- 
tible motive  beyond  the  unravelling  of  mystery,  but 
the  tendency  is  not  immoral,  and  the  work  is  much 
better  than  most  of  its  class.  823.70. 

Her  most  famous  work  is  widely  read  for  its  sensa-

Lincoln.     X.  Y.,   H.arper,  $3. 

A  sketch  rather  than  a  biography  ;  the  author  care- 
fully refrains  from  attempts  at  eharacteri/.ation.  Mr. 
Collin  knew  Lincoln  personally,  visited  the  scenes  of 
Ills  early  life,  and  had  many  interviews  with  those  who 
knew  I.'iiuciln  in  early  days.  The  strong  points  of  this 
book  are  its  readableness,  its  happy  selection  of  m.-itler 
likely  to  be  of  general  interest,  its  numerous  illustra- 
tions of  places  connected  with  Lincoln's  early  career, 
and  its  portraits  of  leading  men  during  war  times.—

John  Fiske,  in  the  preface  to  his  "  Discovery  of

Mr.  Winsor  has  made  an  invaluable  contribution  to 
the  critical  literature  of  the  discovery  of  America.  .  .  . 
But  he  has  succeeded  in  demonstrating  afresh  that  a 
lack  of  historic  imagination  and  a  deficiency  in  primal 
human  sympathy  cannot  be  made  good  by  the  most

Fiske  performs  the  useful  and  honorable  office  of 
marshalling  the  facts  deduced  by  the  best  and  latest 
monographisls.  and  presenting  them  to  the  reading 
public  in  a  coherent  form.  He  has  a  keen  sense  of  his- 
torical perspective  and  proportion,  takes  a  large,  philo- 
sophic view  of  his  subject,  and  has  a  charming  literary 
style.  The  study  of  American  history  has  been  popu- 
larized by  his  books;  thousands,  heretofore  indiflereiu 
to  it,  have  lirst  been  led  by  the  works  of  Fiske  to  see 
that  we  have  a  national  history  which  is  highly  pic- 
turestiue  and  deserves  our  closest  attention.  'I  Ins  work 
is  one  of  the  best  from  his  h  md,  and  is  important  as 
laying  a  solid  foundation  for  the  study  of  American 
history.  The  introductory  chapter  is  thj  most  satisfac-

Amkru'a.  3d  ed.  revised.  N.  Y.,  Harper, 
1893.     2  vols.,  O.  S5. 

The  author  attacks  the  old-time  theorv  that  Ameri- 
can institutions  are  chiefly  traceable  to  Knglish  exam- 
ple, and  gives  much  credit  to  Dutch  influence. 

Our  Northern  States  were  settled  by  Puritans- 
Scotch,  Irish,  Uuteli,  W  elsli,  ICnglisli  who  in  their  po- 
litical procedure  departed  widely  from  the  precedents 
settliem  in  the  British  monarchy.  Many  of  llie  found- 
ers, religious  teachers,  military  Iciders  and  constitution- 
makers  of  New  England  had  been  long  residents  of 
Holland.  There  they  had  enjoyed  peace,  prosperity, 
and  often  citizenship  itself,  in  a  country  where  the 
ancient  spirit  of  Teutonic  freedom  was  most  vital.  The 
commiin  lands  and  common  schools,  the  written  bal- 
lots, municipalities,  religious  tolerance,  a  federal  union 
of  states,  the  play  of  national  and  loeal  government, 
the  supremacy  of  the  judiciary  -  in  short,  most  of  the 
precedentsof  things  usually  supposed  tobeol  .-Xmerican 
initiation  were  m  vogue  .  .  .  While  other  scholars 
have  said  this  in  general  terms,  Mr  Campbell,  with 
scholarly  ddigence  and  with  Ihe  acumen  of  a  metro- 
politan lawyer,  hassought  out  facts  and  authorifes  in 
minute  detail,  and  has  massed  lliem  wiih  convincing

fore,  must  not  turn  to  these  volumes  in  hopes  of  linding

18O7.     463  p.,  O.  Si. 50. 

Parkman  ranks  with  the  best  historical  writers  in 
the  Knglish  language.  His  theme,  the  struggle  for 
the  mastery  of  this  continent,  between  the  national 
giants  of  the  seventeenth  and  eighteenth  centuries,  is 
at  tirst  thought  not  a  popular  one,  but  no  one  who  has 
once  read  a  volume  ol  Parkman  can  readily  stop  short 
of  the  entire  twelve  ;  lor  to  rare  honesty,  iiersislence, 
and  clear-headedness  as  an  investigator,  he  added  a 
charming  literary  style  which,  without  the  faintest 
touch  of  laise  color  or  undue  proportion,  lends  to  his 
story  all  the  fascination  of  romance. 

The  "Jesuits"  is  probably  the  best  volume  with 
which  to  commence,  or  it  may  be  sejiarately  read  with 
]>rotit.  The  story  it  tells  is  one  of  the  most  romantic 
ami  thrilling  in  human  histor\'.  The  introductory 
chapter,  on  the  Indian  tribes,  is  a  truthful  picture  of 
savage  life  and  manners.  The  books  of  Parkman's 
series  in  their  historical  o  der,  are:  "Pioneers  of 
France  in  the  Old  World,"  "The  Jesuits  in  North 
America,"  "  1. a  Salle  and  the  niscovery  of  the  Great 
West,"  "  ThcOld  Regime  in  Canada,'  '  Count  F'ronte- 
nac  and  New  France  under  I.ouis  XIV.,"  "A  Half- 
Century  t)t  Conflict  "  (a  vols  ),  "  .Montcalm  and  Wolfe  " 
(2  vols.),  and  "  The  Conspiracy  of  Puntiac"  (a  vols.). 
I  Host  .  I.ittle,  all  tLso  per  vol.)  "Montcalm  and 
\VoIfe  "  is  the  best  existing  account  of  the  V  rench  and 
Indian  War,  and  should  not  be  neglected  by  any 
student  of  American  history. 

"The  Oregon  Trail  "  (Dost  ,  T  ittle,  $1.50),  an  inde- 
pendeiu  book,  wriller.  before  th.e  at)ove  series,  is  a 
graphic  portrayal  oi  the  .lutlujr's  life  among  trans- 
Missouri  tribes  tielore  the  advent  of  railways,  and  in 
interest  ranks  with  Irving's  "Captain  Bonneville's 
Ailventures  "  (N.  \'.,  l*utnam,  75  c),  and  ''Astoria" 
(N.  V  ,  Putnam,  fi  ;  paper,  to  c),  Tlie  boy  who  has 
read  these  charming  and  trut'.ful  narratives  of  life  on

Parkman  incidentally  gives  us  the  story  of  the 
region  between  the  Aileghany  Mountains  antl  the 
Mississippi  Kiver,  up  to  the  close  of  the  Pontiac  con-

in  vigorous,  piclurestiue  style,  of  the  Wes  specifically, 
from  the  downfall  of  New  l''rance  to  the  year  171)6  ;  a 
fourth  volume,  yet  to  be  written,  will  doubtless  carry 
the  story  forward  to  the  admission  of  Ohio  1 181x1),  the 
tirst  Northwestern  coiiimoM  wealth.  A  general  knowl- 
edge of  Western  history  is  essential  to  a  full  under- 
standing of  .•\ineriian  history  in  general  Too  litile 
attention  has  been  paiil  to  tlu'  West  by  our  historians, 
most  of  whom  appear  to  ihink  that  all  of  the  United 
States  that  is  worth  considering  lieseast  of  the  Allegha- 
nies  ;  this  common  neglect  of  many  of  the  mainsprings 
of  national  development  has  resulted  in  the  presentation 
of  a  distorted  picture.  .-Viiierican  liistotN'  will  have

long  ago  as  i8so.  It  is  I'omparable  with  Bancroft's 
work,  is  in  the  main  accurate  and  fair,  but  dull  in 
style.  Most  students  will  find  the  seconil  half  the 
more  protitable. 

Hubert  Howe  Bancroft's  stupendous  compilation,

S4.50  each),  upon  Central  .America,  Mexico,  and  the 
country  ac<|uired  by  the  United  States  from  .Mexico, 
should  not  be  overlooked.  The  work  is  too  detailed 
for  general  reading,  but  m.'iy  be  freely  turn«:d  to  as  ;i 
cyclopiediaut  facts  regarding  the  Pacific  Statesand  the 
Southwest 

The  volumes  in  the  several  series  published  by 
Houghton,  "  American  Siatesmen,"  "  American  Com- 
monwealths," and  "  .Vnnerican  Men  of  Letters"  ($1.^5 
per  vol.),  should  not  be  neglected.  A  tew  ot  the 
"Story  of  the  states"  series  (Bost.,  Loihrop,  lr.50 
per  vol.)  may  also  be  profitably  used.  l'"or  a  popular 
illustrateil  history,  Higginson's  "  Larger  History  of  the

features  of  our  history;  antl  in  this  connection  Ely's 
"  Labor  Movement  in  .America"  (N,  V.,  Crowell.  §1.50) 
is  valuable.  Lucy  Larcom's  "New  England  fJirl- 
hood  "  (Bost.,  Ht>ugliton,  75  c.),  an  inspiring  book 
for  girls,  gives  an  interesting  picture  of  industrial  con- 
ditions half  a  century  ago. 

For  ready  reference,  the  student  should  be  familiar 
with  Lossing's  "Popular  Cy.  lop.Tedia  of  V .  S.  His-

Spanish  A.merica. 

Winsor's  "Narrative  and  Critical  History  of  Amer- 
ica" (Host.,  Houghton,  8  vols.,  $44)  contains  much 
material.  Mackenzie's  "  America  ;  A  History  "  (N.  Y., 
Harperlgivesthe  best  brief,  all-around  historicalaccount 
of  Spanish  America.  Hale's  "Storyof  Mexico"(Story 
of  the  Nations  series,  N.  Y.,  Putnam,  $1.50)  is  the 
most  convenient  handbook  concerning  that  country, 
Prescott's  "  Conquest  of  Me-xico  "  (Phua.,  Lippinco  t, 
$1.50)  and  "Conquest  of  Peru  "  (Phila.,  Lippincott,  gi) 
are  charming  works,  viewed  as  literature,  but  they 
must  be  reati  with  caution,  for  modern  arciia,'ological 
investigation  has  quite  exploded  the  fanciful  notions 
of  the  early  historians  concerning  the  stage  of  Aztec 
and  Peruvian  civilization.  The  opening  chapter  of 
Fiske's  "  Discovery  of  North  America"  (Host.,  Hough- 
ton, 3  vols..  S4)  will  set  the  reader  right,  if  studied  in 
connection  with  Prescott. 

West  Indies,  and  Other  Colonies. 

Excellent  handbooks— historical,  economic,  and  de- 
scriptive—are  those  of  the  series  "  Foreign  Countries 
and  Hritish  Colonies'' (Lond.,  Samps  n  Low,  is  6d. 
each),  which  includes  Eaton's  "West  Indies"  and 
Markham  s  "Peru."  Other  useful  books  are  Cotton 
and  Payne's  "Colonies  and  Dependencies"  (English 
Citizen  series,  N.  Y.,  Macmillan,  $1  ),  Payne's 
"History  of  European  Colonies"  (Lond  ,  Macmillan, 
4s.  fid.,  Freeman  s  Historical  series),  and  Lucas's 
"  Historical  Geography  of  European  Colonies"  (Vol.  I.

$1.25;  Vol.  II.  The  West  Indian  Colonies,  $i.go; 
Vol.  III.  West  Africa,  $2:  N.  V,  Macmillan). 
Froude's  "  English  in  the  West  Indies"  (N.  Y  ,  Scrib- 
ner,  81.75)  is  noteworthy;  but  the  reader  should  con- 
sult its  antidote,  Thomas's  "Froudacity"  (Phila.,

If  we  do  not  greatly  mistake,  this  historyof  England 
will  supjilant  all  (thers  used  as  text-b*)oks  in  schools 
and  colleges.  The  n;imeof  tlieautlu.r  .  .  .  would  pre- 
possess any  one  in  its  favor,  and  a  perusal  of  its  pages 
only  accentuates  the  feeling  that  here  at  last  we  have 
an  accurate,  succinct,  and  entertaining  book,  tit  for 
schools  as  well  as  for  the  general  reader.  ,  .  .  The  il- 
lustrations, a  notable  feature  .  .  ,  are  not  the  old- 
fashioned  and  hackneyed  ones  to  be  fouiul  in  most  so- 
called  illustr:ite<l  histories  .  .  .  they  are  illustrative  of 
the  text,  and  alTord  an  excellent  study  in  the  manners 
of  the  times —C'r;/ic.

narration,  and  an  absolute  command  of  his  subject,  he 
often  fails  in  imagination  and  in  dramatic  power.  .  .  . 
(ombined  wilh  deticiency  in  the  appreciation  of  violent 
feeling,  there  is  patent,  at  any  rate  in  Mr.  Gardiner's 
later  writings,  a  minor  fault  which  mars  the  effect  of 
his  narrative,  anil  even,  it  ma>'  be  suspected,  occasion- 
ally viti.ites  his  judgment.  He  looks  at  the  events 
which  he  is  studying  rather  in  piecemeal  than  as  a 
whole.  There  is  a  real  danger  of  his  becoming  rather  a 
chronicler  than  an  historian."  Mr  Gardiner's  other

S7.  Together  with  History  of  Ireland  in 
the  Eighteenth  Century,  Library  edition. 
N.  Y.,  Appleton,  8  vols.,  S20. 

The  author  seeks  "to  disengage  from  the  great 
mass  ot  facts  those  which  relate  to  the  permanent 
forces  of  the  nation,  or  which  indicate  some  of  the 
more  enduring  features  of  national  life."  To  this 
end,  he  avoids  the  chronological  treatment  of  events, 
minute  records  of  court  and  camp,  and  discusses  those 
larger  affairs  of  Kngiand  which  have  inlluenced  politi- 
cal progress,  religious  development,  the  manners  and 
thought  ol  the  people.

Treats  of  the  important  changes  in  the  Knglish 
political  system,  from  the  introduction  of  Lord  lireys 
reform  bill  to  the  death  of  Sir  Robert  I'eel— "  that 
marvellous  period  of  political  activity."  The  author 
has  an  incisive  style,  and  presents  striking  pictures  of 
the  leading  statesmen  of  that  time  on  both  sides  of  the 
iiarly  fence.  He  truly  says:  "No  period  of  equal 
length  in  English  history  encloses  a  greater  number  of 
remarkable  figures  than  the  statesmen,  orators,  and 
politicians  from  Lord  Grey,  Lord  John  Russell,  and 
O'Connell,  to  Sir  Robert  I'cel,  Lord  Palmcrston.  and

Hume's  "  History  of  England"  (N.  Y.,  Harper,  6 
vols.,  $i)  covers  the  period  from  the  invasion  of  Julius 
Ciesar  to  the  Revolution  in  168S.  For  over  a  century 
it  has  been  regarded  as  a  classic;  but  although  eleg.int 
in  style,  and  ileliglitfully  de.ir.  it  abounds  in  mistakes 
is  not  the  protluct  of  original  research,  and  is  no  longer 
cited  as  an  aiitliority.  Macaulay's  "  History"  (cheapi  ^l

Longmans,  2  vols.,  -^i)  commences  with  the  accession 
of  James  II.,  and  althougli  covering  but  seventeen 
years,  will,  because  of  its  superb  style,  doubtless  al- 
ways remain  in  the  first  rank  of  historical  literature; 
modern  students  have  proved  it  sometimes  faulty  in  its 
facts,  and  the  author's  strong  politic;il  bias  as  a  Whig 
caused  him  to  be  at  times  grossly  unfair.  Froude's  work 
(N.  Y.,  Scribner,  u  vols.,  818)  treats  only  of  the  period

from  the  fall  of  Wolsey  to  the  death  of  Rlizabeth  ;  it  is 
skilfully  written,  spirited  in  style,  and  highly  popular, 
but  Kroude  is  aju^lantly  taking  sides  and  saerilicing 
truth  to  rhetorical  effect. 

Montgomery's  '  Leading  Facts  of  Enelisli  History"

Covers  the  general  history  of  European  states  trom 
the  close  of  the  Middle  Ages  to  "  the  commencement 
of  contemporaneous  history  "—that  is,  from  the  fall  of 
Constantinople  (1453)  to  the  French  Revolution.  A 
valuable  compe  iium,  by  one  of  the  foremost  French 
historians  of  our  day  ;  but  the  style  is  dry,  making  it 
dihicult  of  perusal  by  the  reader  who  desires  entertain-

short  history  of  the  Middle  Ages  which  has  been  pub-

to  us,  done  himself  especial  credit  in  his  clear  descrip- 
tion of  the  Christian  Church.  .  .  .  The  style  is  almost 
too  familiar;  for,  though  written  especially  for 
younger  students,  we  are  (|uite  certain  thai  the  hook

in  culture  of  the  primeval  natioi.s  of  the  earth,  this 
work  is  important  in  laying  the  foundation  to  a  broad

errors  in  the  earlier  edition  have  been  corrected  in

The  study  of  French  history  is  of  prime  importance, 
for  the  story  of  France  is  the  story  of  Europe.  From 
the  earliest  times  her  interests  have  btcn  more  or 
less  intimately  linked  with  those  of  her  continental 
neighbors.  There  is  a  growing  tendency  among 
teachers  to  instruct  in  general  European  history, 
through  the  medium  of  French  history.  Hence  the 
citation  in  the  present  list  of  so  many  works  in  this 
field.  Duruy's  is  the  best  one-volume  history  ;  emi- 
nently useful  to  students,  but  lacks  color,  and  repels 
the  general  reader.  This  edition  is  without  the  illus- 
trations, which  are  so  valuable  a  feature  of  the  origi- 
nal, but  is  abundantly  supplied  with  maps.  Montgom- 
ery's "  Leading  Facts  of  French   History  "  (Bost  , 


(Ginn,  $1.13),  and  Creighton's  elementary  "  First  His- 
tory of  France  "(N.  Y.,  Longmans,  •■. 35),  are  useful.

In  cle<-irness  of  diction,  strength  of  characlerizaliim, 
and  dramatic  power,  Motley  lias  few  equals  among 
historical  wrilcts;  but  while  his  manner  charms,  ai  cl 
noble  impulses  are  (piickened  by  his  sturdy  love  of 
freedom,  Ihe  critical  render  feels  that  often  the  author's 
statement  is  not  judicial  and  that  there  mus-t  \x  another 
side  to  the  shield. 

"  The  work,  after  an  historical  introduction  of  ninety- 
two  pages,  is  devoted  to  that  turbulent  age  from  the 
abdication  of  Charles  V.,  in  uss,  to  the  assassination  of 
Williamof  Orange,  in  1584.  Much  of  this  period,  there-

Brewer's  "The  Historic  Note-Hook"  (I'hila  ,  Lip.

We  can  in  the  main  recommend  The  Story  of  the 
Nations  (N.  V  ,  Putnam,  S1.50  e.icli),  particularly  in 
addition  to  those  already  cited,  the  volumes  on  ligypt,

pire. Ihe  Cnisailes.  Switzerland.  Russia,  Holland, 
Spain  and  The  Jews.  Thisserics  "dwells  particularly 
upon  the  (Iraiiiatic  phases  of  liislorical  events,  and 
concerns  itself  but  slightly  with  the  growth  of  institu- 
tions and  sociolou'ical  phenomena  "—serious limitations 
these,  resulting  often  in  painful  lack  of  proportion. 

The  Heroes  of  the  Nalions  (N.  Y.,  Putnam.  $1.50

volumcsare  convenient  and  generally  readable.  The

LITERATURE. 


A  SELECTION   OF  THE  BEST  ENGLISH   AND   AMERICAN  AUTHORS   IN  THE   DEPART- 
MENTS  OF   POETRY   AND   BELLES-LETTRES  ;    WITH   BRIEF  NOTES 
ON    THE    ACCEPTED    EDITIONS, 

BY  G.  MERCER  ADAM, 

Author  of  "A   J^e^is  of  English  History,"   etc. 

I.lTrRATl'RE  consists  of  all  tlie  books— iind  they  are  not  so  main — where  moral  truth  and  human  passion  are  touched  with 
accrtaiti  I.-Lrj^encss,  sanity,  and  attraction  of  form.  My  notion  of  the  literaty  student  is  of  one  who  through  hooks  ex[ilores  the 
slran^e  VMjaj,'es  of  mafi's  moral  reason,  the  impulses  of  the  human  heart,  the  chances  and  ch.'inj^es  that  have  overtaken 
human  ideals  of  \irtue  ami  happiness,  of  conduct  and  manners,  atid  the  shifting  fortunes  of  i;reat  conceptions  of  truth  and  vir- 
tue. Poets,  dramatists,  humorists,  satirists,  masters  of  liction,  the  ^reat  preachers,  the  character-writers,  the  maxim-writers^ 
the  great  pt>litical  orators— they  are  all  literatuie  in  so  far  as  tliej-  teach  us  to  know  man  and  to  know  human  nature.  This  is 
what  makes  literature,  ri.;htly  sifted  and  seleited  and  rightly  studied,  not  the  mere  ele;,'ant  trillins  that  it  is  so  often  and  so 
erroneously  stiiM>oseil  to  he,  hut  a  proper  iu^tinmenl  for  a  s\stematic  tr;iiuing  of  the  imagination  and  the  sympathies,  and  of 
ugcni.tl  and  varied  moral  sensibility. — John  MoKLb;v  ;  On  the  titudu  of  Lilerature,

and  7"^^  (7i«(ir<//Viw,  publicaLi<»ns  at  the  time  of  a  new 
order,  in  which  literature,  politics,  and  murals  were 
treated  in  an  original  and  gracelul  style.  Addison's 
literary  career  began  in  1704  with  7"/;*  Crt»w/<ii^;;.lie  met 
with  instantancoussuccessas  a  writer  of  pure  idiomatic 
English, of  unfailing  genial  philosophy,  ami  withal  ex- 
ceeding happy  as  an  observerof  life  and  manners.  His 
prose  style  was  deemed  by  Johnson  so  admirable  as  to 
call  forth  the  well-known  eulogy  :  "  Whoever  wishes  to 
attain  an  English  style,  familiar  but  not  coarse,  and 
elegant  but  not  ostentatious,  must  give  his  days  and 
nights  to  the  study  of  Addison."  To  his  charming 
and  felicitous  essays,  the  happiest  of  which  is  that  on 
"Sir  Roger  de  Coverlcy,"  Addison  solely  owes  his 
fame.  For  delicate  humor,  coupled  with  sound  com- 
mon-sense, he  has  hardly  a  riv.il.  Literature  owes 
him  a  debt  for  being  the  lirst  to  bring  Milton's  writings 
to  the  knowledge  of  the  reading  world.  824.52.

Arnold,  Matthew.     [1S22-1888.] 

Poet  and  critic,  an  acute  and  independent  thinker,  an 
accoin|ilished  scholar,  a  master  of  English  prose.  As 
became  a  son  of  Thomas  Arnold,  the  famous  master  of 
Rugby,  he  was  essentially  a  religious  man,  yet  he  early 
broke  away  from  tr.aditional  theology  as  a  stern  critic 
of  English  Christianity.  Here  his  most  char.ictcristic 
book  is  "  Liter.ature  and  Dogma."  In  "Culture  and 
Anarchy"  he  bears  down  upon  I'hilistinism,  upon  the 
vulgar  notion  that  puts  the  means  of  living  above  life. 
To  this  theme  throughout  his  works  he  returns  again 
and  again.  In  the  realm  of  poetry  .\rnold  has  genuine 
dramatic  insight  and  a  deep  idealism,  joined  to  tine 
sensibilities  and  a  rare  distinction  of  art  and  manner. 
He  is  the  greatest  of  European  elegiac  poets,  and  the 
melancholy  of  his  verse  is  often  relieved  by  many  pas- 
sages of  calm  and  even  buoyant  beauty.

Bacon,  Francis,  Lord.     [i56i-id26.] 

Philosopher,  statesman,  and  man  of  letters,  whom 
Izaak  Wallon  called  "  the  great  secretary  of  nature  and 
all  learning  '  To  Bacon,  the  literature  of  philosophy  is 
imlebted  for  the  impulse  he  gave  to  scientitic  inijuir>'  by 
his  powerful  and  eloquent  exposition  of  its  methods  in 
his"  Novum  OrL,'arium  "  and  "  Advancement  of  Le.irn- 
ing."  while  literature  in  general  owes  acknowledgment 
to  him  for  his  popularization  of  the  essay.  While  his 
scientitic  treatises  created  a  revolution  in  the  domain 
of  philosophy,  and,  as  Macaulay  says,  jiroduceil  a  vast 
influence  on  tlie  opinions  (»f  mankind,  it  is  "  in  the 
essays  alone  that  the  mind  of  Bacon  is  brought  into 
immediate  contact  with  the  nitnils  of  ortlinary  read- 
ers." The  essays  are  the  ot)servations  and  deductitms 
of  a  great  intellect  occupied  with  the  problem  of  human 
life,  and  actuated  by  the  desire  to  disseminate  pruden- 
tial counsels  in  its  tiirection  and  guidance.  Their  wis- 
dom, their  pithiness  of  style,  are  unapproached  in 
English  literature.  824.3.

Browning,  Elizabeth  Barrett.     [1S09-18C1.] 

The  greatest  English  poetess,  a  woman  of  rare  cul- 
ture, delicate  sensibilities,  and  tine  emotions.  As  an 
artist  her  main  fault  is  over-fluency.  Her  longest 
work,  "Aurora  Leigh,"  first  published  in  iSsfi,  is  a 
novel  in  blank  verse,  into  which,  as  the  author  tells  us, 
"  her  highest  convictions  upon  life  and  art  have  en- 
tered." Besides  a  large  body  of  miscellaneous  verse, 
char.icterixed  by  much  grace  of  style  and  delicacy 
of  feeling,  Mrs.  Browning  wrote  "Casa  Guidi  Win- 
dows," which  deals  mainly  with  the  Italian  aspirations 
for  liberty  and  unity— themes  that  engrossed  the  minds 
of  both  herself  and  hei  husband  ;  and  "  Sonnets  from 
the  Portuguese,"  a  series  of  the  finest  love  poetry  in 
the  language— the  outpourings  of  a  woman's  richest 
thought  and  tenderest  feeling.  At  an  early  age  she  pub- 
lished a  fine  translation  of  the  "Prometheus  Bound,"

Browning,  Robert.     [1812-1889.] 

Most  eminent  of  psychological  poets,  and  great 
contemporary  writer  of  dramatic  idyls  and  mono- 
logues. If  too  metaphysical  to  be  popular,  Browning 
is  not  the  less  worthy  of  the  poetical  student's  atten- 
tion for  the  profound  thought  that  underlies  his  often 
rugged  and  sometimes  obscure  verse.  His  greatest 
achievement  is  "  The  Ring  and  the  Book,"  a  scries  of 
poetized  versions  of  a  tragedy  which  took  place  at 
Rome  at  the  close  of  the  17th  century.  His  other 
writings  include  "Strafford,"'  an  historical  tragedy; 
*'  Sordello,"  a  psychological  narrative  ;  "  Paracelsus," 
a  drama  delineating  the  history  of  a  soul  aiming  to 
reach  perfection  but  thwarted  in  its  pu-suit;  "Fifine 
at  the  Fair,"  dramas  on  Greek  subjects;  and  a  story 
of  Brittany—"  Red-Cotton  Night-Cap  Country."  His 
more  popular  and  generally  appreciated  writings  are, 
howver,  to  be  found  in  his  minor  poems  and  lyrics, 
whi('i  ..icludesuch  graphic  pictures  of  human  char- 
acter 1  d  passion  as  "  Evelyn  Hope,"  "In  a  Year," 
and  "  Home  Though'  s  from  Abroad  "  ;  and  some  fine 
historical  poems,  such  as  the  battle  of  La  H(»gue,  in 
"Herv*  Riel,"  and  "How  They  Brought  the  Good 
News  from  Ghent  to  Aix."  821.83.

Bryant,  William  Cullen.    [1794-1S7S.] 

One  of  the  earliest  of  eminent  native  poets.  His 
verse,  unfortunately  meagre  in  volume,  maintains  the 
distinction  which  it  from  the  first  won,  for  its  fine 
contemplative  character  and  rare  moral  beauty.  Bry- 
ant drew  not  a  little  of  his  inspiration  from  Words- 
worth, and,  like  the  greatest  of  the  Lake  Poets,  he  was 
profoundly  responsive  to  the  influences  and  the  beauty 
of  Nature.  But  Bryant  had  a  voice  and  characteristics 
of  his  own,  which  are  expressive  of  the  New  rather 
than  of  the  Old  World.  "  Thanatopsis,"  written  at 
he  age  of  nineteen,  remains  the  high-water  mark  of 
his  poetic  genius.  It  is  a  woodland  meditation  on 
death.  Of  merit  almost  as  high  are  his  "  Hymn  of 
the  City,"  "Forest  Hymn,"  "June,"  "  The  Anticiuity 
of  Freedom,"  "  To  the  Fringed  Gentian,"  and  "  To  a 
Water-Fowl."  For  many  years  of  Bryant's  busy  life 
he  was  Editor-in-Chief  of  the  New  York  Evening 
Pott.  In  his  declining  years  he  found  solace  in  trans- 
lating the  "Iliad"  and  "Odyssey"  into  English 
blank  verse.  811.33.

W.  C.  Bryant.  By  John  Bigelow.  (Ameri- 
can Men  of  Letters  series.)  Bost.,  Hough- 
ton, $1.25. 

A  sympathetic  and  adequate  biography. 

Burns,  Robert.     [1759-1796.] 

Scotland's  greatest  poet,  and  one  of  the  sweetest 
writers  of  lyrics  and  songs  in  the  language.  A  man 
of  passionate  sympathy  with  his  fellow-men,  he  has 
interpreted  for  us,  as  no  other  has,  the  thought,  feel- 
ing, and  manners,  as  well  as  the  life,  of  the  Scottish 
peasatit.  With  an  intense  love  of  Nature,  and  an  eye 
to  see  the  tender  and  humorous  side  of  life,  and  to  re- 
veal it  in  good  fellowship,  often  to  his  moral  harm. 
Burns  appeals  to  all  humanity,  or  to  those  at  least  who 
care  to  m.aster  his  homely  Lowland  Scotch.  A  certain 
coarseness  in  places  disfigures  his  work,  as  certain 
failings  marred  his  life.  But  with  all  his  defects  he 
was  a  man,  and  no  mincing  sentimentalist,  and  has 
left  behind  him  a  great  treasury  of  melodious,  touch- 
ing, and  true-hearted  song.  821.67.

mate of  his  genius. 

Byron  [Lord],  Oeorge  Oordon  Noel.    [17SS- 

1824. 

One  of  the  greatest  and  most  prolific  of  England's 
poets,  as  he  is  the  most  misanthropic  and  deKant  of  the 
conventionalities  of  her  moral,  religious,  and  social  life. 
His  independent,  restless,  masterful  spirit  breathes 
through  writings  characterized  by  passionate  energy, 
intense  subjectivity  highly  tinged  with  scepticism,  and 
a  romantic  picturesqueness,  expressed  inaremarkable 
flow  of  melodious  and  nervous  language.  A  large 
portion  of  his  verse  deals  with  OrieiUal  tales,  many  of 
them  drawn  from  the  scenery,  history,  ;ind  legends  of 
Greece,  into  whose  cause,  while  that  country  was 
throwing  off  the  yoke  of  the  Turk,  the  poet  ardently 
threw  himself,  at  the  cost  of  an  early  and  much  re- 
gretted death.  Greece,  it  has  been  said,  made  Byron  a 
poet ;  to  his  travels  we  owe  the  two  works  by  which  he 
is  best  known,  "Don  Juan"  and  "  Childe  Harold's 
Pilgrimage."  In  the  former  we  have  a  poetic  medley 
of  description  and  narration,  reciting  the  roaming  ad- 
ventures of  a  youth,  around  whom  the  poet  has  hung 
"  his  wealth  of  wit,  humor,  satire,  pathos,  and 
descriptive  beauty."  "Childe  Harold,"  which  first 
brought  Byron  fame,  is  a  poem  of  extraordinary 
power,  full  of  the  energy  of  scorn  and  the  passion  of 
despair.  Its  misanthropy,  the  genuineness  of  which 
is  (|uestioned,  is  relieved  by  the  grand  strain  of  pas- 
sion that  characterizes  the  verse,  and  by  a  force  of 
superb  diction  that  carries  the  reader  irresistibly 
through  canto  after  canto  of  metrical  eloquence.

Oarlyle,  Thomas.    [1795-18S1.]. 

Biographer,  historian,  and  ea  ..yist,  a  writer  who,  in 
spite  of  his  vehement  cynicism  and  the  verbal  eccen- 
tricities of  his  style,  exercised  a  profound  influence  on 
the  thought  of  his  age.  His  gifts  were  many  both  as 
a  thinker  and  as  a  writer.  He  had  fervid  ima<rination, 
forceful  powers  of  description,  a  marvellous  gift  of 
depicting  character,  and,  to  use  Jeffrey's  phrase,  "a 
dreadful  earnestness."  His  historical  works  are 
elsewhere  touched  upon  ;  here  we  have  only  to  do  with 
his  miscellaneous  writings.  These  include,  besides  a 
large  body  of  critical  essays,  translations,  and  con- 
tributions to  reviews,  a  "Life  of  John  Sterling,"  poet 
a-- 1  critic  ;  lectures  on  "  Heroes  and  Hero-Worship," 
in  .lich  Carlyle  expresses  his  passionate  regard  for 
the  heroic  in  history  and  for  the  commanding  hero, 
right  or  wrong;  his  "Sartor  Resartus"  (the  tailor  re- 
made), professedly  a  review  of  a  German  treatise  on 
dress,  but  really  a  vent  for  its  author's  own  specula- 
tions and  "inward  agonies";  and  "  Past  and  Present,"' 
a  vehement  arraignment  of  political  and  religious  ideas 
prevailing  flfty  years agoin  England,  withatrenchant 
indictment  of  qu,-icks,  charlatans,  and  the  gospel  of 
Mammon,  which  the  Sage  held  was  destroying  rever- 
ence for  all  that  was  best  in  the  past.

Chaucer,  Oeoi&ey.    [1340-1400.] 

Cnaucer,  "the  true  forerunner  and  prototype  of 
Shakespeare,"  has  given  us  his  bes»  work  in  "The 
Canterbury  Tales."  Here  he  shows  his  knowledge 
and  love  of  men  and  women  as  they  are,  the  sag;icity 
and  wit  that  make  him  worthy  of  almost  the  highest 
place  in  English  letters,  "The  Tales"  are  somewhat 
difficult  to  read  without  the  aid  of  a  glossary,  since 
they  were  written  when  our  mother  tongue  was  just 
emerging  from  its  early  rude  and  little  organized  form. 
Despite  its  many  obsolete  wordt  and  unfamiliar  idi-

Coleridge,  Samuel  Taylor.     [1772-1834.] 

Poet,  miscellaneous  writer,  and  great  converscr, 
whose  genius,  at  the  best  desultory  and  vagrant,  was 
unhappily  enslaved  by  the  opium-liahit.  Having  im- 
bibed the  democratic  ideas  of  the  era  of  the  French 
Revolution,  Coleridge  formed  the  project  to  found, 
with  his  friend  Southcy,  and  other  revolutionary 
youth  of  the  period,  a  "  Pantisocraey"  on  the  banks 


of  the  Susquehanna,  but  emigration  was  balked  by 
lack  of  funds,  and  the  scheme  of  a  communistic  so- 
ciety, like  many  other  of  Coleridge's  projects,  came 
to  nothing,  A  man  of  fine  intellect,  varied  knowl- 
edge, great  powers  of  rp'"ection.  -"nd  rare  critical 
taste,  with  the  true  lyrical  gift,  he  'eft  comparatively 
little  behind  him.  His  verse,  which  like  much  of  his 
prose,  is  that  of  a  dreamer,  has  a  haunting  beauty,  a 
poetic  grace  and  imaginative  fervor,  which  show  what 
literature  has  lost  by  his  mental  infirmity.  Besides 
his  poems,  his  chief  prose  works  are  his  "Aids  to  Re- 
flection," "The  Friend,"  "Table  Talk,""  Biogra- 
phia  Literaria,"  and  a  volume  of  "  Lectures  on  Shake- 
speare."

Oowper,  'VT'illiam.    [1731-1800.] 

If  the  poet's  life  w,-is  as  pl.acid  as  his  own  "  Sleepy 
Ouse,"  his  recluse  existence  was  favorable  to  medi- 
tation. It  is  the  gentle  round  of  his  domestic  life, 
with  the  clicking  of  the  knitting-needles  and  the  hiss- 
ing of  the  tea-urn,  that  interests  us.  His  verse  is 
mainly  of  ,a  religious  and  didactic  character,  deeply 
tinged  with  melancholy.  It  was  of  value  in  breaking 
English  poetry  away  from  the  artificial  versification  of 
Pope  and  his  imitators,  and  bringing  it  back  to  truth 
and  nature.  821.65.

Curtis,  George  William.     [1824-1S92.] 

Essayist,  journalist,  publicist,  and  man  of  letters. 
At  an  early  age  Curtis  attained  celebrity  as  the  writer 
of  a  series  of  prose-poems  of  travel,  in  which  humor, 
pathos,  and  graceful  sentiment  happily  blend  with  the 
polished  talk  of  a  thoughtful  and  highly  cultured  mind. 
The  series  embraces  "  Lotus-Rating,"  "  Nile  Notes  of 
a  Howadji,"  and  "The  Howadji  in  Syria,"  which 
abound  in  picturesciue  descriptions  and  vividly  writ- 
ten incidents  of  travel  in  the  East,  These  were  fol- 
lowed by  "The  Potiphar  Papers,"  in  which  humor 
and  satire  are  delightfully  interwoven.  His  "  Prue 
and  I  "  belongs  to  fiction  antl  is  elsewhere  dealt  with.

Chadwick.     N.  Y.,  Harper,  50  c. 

A  brief,  cordial  sketch  and  characterization  by  a 
■warm  personal  friend, 

De  Quincey,  Thomas.    [17S5-1859.] 

Essayist  and  philosophic  svritcr,  who,  like  Coleridge, 
and  with  Ihe  same  fell  results,  was  a  victim  to  opium. 
How  far  these  writers  owed  their  inspiration  to  the  in- 
sidious drug  is  never  likely  to  be  known;  but  curious 
mental  parallels  are  to  be  traced  in  the  two  men,  aside 
from  the  question  of  their  learning  and  scholarship. 
Both  were  dreamers  and  seers,  eloquent  talkers,  and 
gifted  with  marvellous  analytic  and  introspective 
faculty.  It  has  unfortunately  to  be  added  that  both 
came  short  in  their  literary  careers  of  the  achievement 
promised  in  their  remarkable  powers.  De  JJuinccy  is 
a  voluminous  writer  on  a  great  variety  of  subjects, 
chietly.  however,  in  the  departments  of  metaphysics 
and  speculative  philosophy.  His  disc|uisitions  also 
cover  biography,  criticism,  and  political  economy,  in- 
cluding many  translations  from  the  German.  To  the 
general  reader  he  is,  however,  best  known  by  his  auto- 
biographic sketches,  including  the  *'  Confessions  of  an 
English  Opium-Eater"  and  "  Suspiria  de  Profundis." 
De  yuincey  is  well  characterized  in  Minto's  "  Manual 
of  English  Prose  Literature"  (Bost.,  Ginn,  St. 50).

Dryden,  John.    [1631-1701.] 

Poet  and  dramatist ;  laureate  from  1670  to  1688. 
Chieliy  known  as  a  translator  of  Virgil's  "itneid," 
and  as  author  of  "  Absalom  and  Achilophel,"  a  poem 
marked  by  vigorous  sallies  of  satire  and  fancy,  while 
the  versification  is  at  once  smooth-Mowing  and  force- 
ful. The  more  notable  of  Dryden's  other  poems  are 
his  "Ode  for  St.  Cecilia's  Day,"  sometimes  called 
"  Alexander's  Feast,"  and  the  "  Hind  and  the  Pan- 
ther," a  poetical  defence,  in  the  form  of  a  fable,  of 
the  Roman  Catholic  Church,  to  which  the  poet  had 
become  a  convert,  against  the  Church  of  England, 
Lowell,  in  "Among  My  Books,"  says  of  Dryden: 
"  He  was  hardly  a  great  poet  in  the  narrowest  defini- 
tion. But  lie  was  a  strong  thinker,  who  sometimes 
carried  common-sense  to  a  height  where  it  catches  the 
light  of  a  diviner  air,  and  warmed  reason  till  it  had 
well-nigh  the  illuminating  property  of  intuition.''

Eliot,  George  (Marian  Evans  Lewes).     [i8iq- 

iSSo.] 

We  have  here  to  do  with  George  Eliot  only  as  poet 
and  essayist.  In  neither  of  these  capacities — need  we 
say  .'—does  she  attain  the  rank  she  lu's  reached  .is  the 
greatest  imaginative  prose-writer  of  her  sex.  If  we 
except  the  exciuisite  outburst,  "O  may  1  join  the 
choir  invisible  !  " — which,  as  has  been  well  pointed 
out,  is  "an  attempt  to  glorify  the  aspiration  to  an  im- 
mortality of  mortal  influence  "—there  is  little  of  her 
verse  likely  to  live  apart  from  hyr  immortal  novels.  It 
has  delicate,  and,occasi<mally,  rich  workmanship,  and 
a  certain  dramatic  interest;  but  it  is  for  these  things, 
and  not  as  poetry,  that  we  are  constrained  to  admire 
it.  The  JVit/ioH  has  said  :  "  George  Eliot  often  shows 
her  deficiency  of  pijctic  imagination  in  making  use  ol 
the  raw  material  of  science  long  bcfttre  it  has  become 
familiar  enough  to  put  on  a  form  of  flesh  and  blood." 
Her  chief  pieces  are  "  The  Spanish  Gypsy,"  a  roman- 
tic drama  in  blank  verse;  "The  Legend  of  Jubal."

Emerson,  Ralph  Waldo.     [1803-1S82.] 

Emerson,  as  has  been  well  said,  "  stands  as  one  of 
the  few  grreat  original  forces  in  literature."  Of  the 
New  England  Transcendentalists  he  \ias  the  acknowl- 
edged chief.  Though  the  philosophy  underlying  his 
writings  is  somewhat  vague  and  the  style  rhapsodical, 
his  essays  hold  a  high  place  in  the  literature  of  power. 
Of  these  the  first  and  second  series  are  best.  All 
abound  in  pithy  passages,  displaying  profound  in- 
sight, sure-footed  common-sense,  and  unfailing  op- 
timism. Lowell  has  remarked  of  him  as  a  lecturer  in 
"My  Study  Windows  " :  "  He  is  full  of  that  power  of 
strangely-subtle  association  whose  indirectapproachcs 
startle  the  mind  into  almost  painful  attention,  of  those 
tlashcs  of  mutual  understanding  between  speaker  and 
hearer  that  are  gone  ere  one  can  say  it  lightens."  His 
verse,  though  that  of  a  recluse,  has  the  same  inspiring 
ethical  philosophy  and  elevated  tone  that  give  dis- 
tinction to  the  essays  ;  always  unprofessional,  it  is 
often  over-weighted  with  thought,  and,  at  times, 
faulty  in  its  art.  In  "The  Problem,"  "Each  and 
All,"  "The  Snowstorm,"  "Seashore,"  "  Days,"  and 
"Threnody,"  he  is  beyond  criticism.  For  an  acute 
and  sympathetic  estimate  of  Emerson,  see  Stcdman's 
"Poets  of  America"  (Bost.,  Houghton,  $3.25).

Poet,  journalist,  and  man  of  letters.  Since  1881 
Mr.  Gilder  has  been  editor  of  Th*  Ltntury  Magatine, 


His  first  volume  of  collected  poems,  "  The  New  Day," 
appeared  in  187^,  and  attracted  attention  for  its 
modern  verve  and  spirit.  This  has  been  followed  by 
four  other  volumes  (the  whole  also  published  as  one 
volume),  which  show  Mr,  Gilder  to  possess  many  of 
the  higher  cjualities  of  song,  with  a  refinement  of  ex- 
pressiim  and  a  daintiness  of  touch  that  harmonize  well 
with  his  command  of  the  resources  of  emotion.

Ooldsmith,  Oliver.    [1728-1774.] 

Poet,  and  "booksellers'  hack  ";  but,  as  Thackeray 
aptly  terms  him,  "the  most  beloved  of  English 
writers."  Of  the  latter,  who  of  them  has  written  with 
more  tender  feeling,  or  with  purer  or  more  artless 
grace?  As  arc  his  writings,  so  is  the  man.  He  is  a 
paragon  of  good-nature  ;  luckless,  indeed,  but,  with  al'. 
his  faults,  fjnuine,  true,  simple-hearted,  and  humane. 
"  He  raised  money  and  squandered  it,  by  every  aitifice 
of  acquisition  and  folly  of  expense,"  says  Dr.  Johnson; 
"but  let  n(jt  his  frailties  be  remembered:  he  was  a 
very  great  man  ! "  Goldsmith  was  a  fertile  as  well  as 
a  charming  writer;  but  his  fame  rests  mainly  on  his 
novel,  "The  Vicar  of  Wakefield  "  (elsewhere  referred 
to),  and  on  his  poems,  "The  Traveller"  and  "The 
Deserted  Village."  One  of  the  best  of  his  comedies, 
"  She  Stoops  to  Conquer,"  still  holds  its  place  on  the 
stage.  823.64.

and  reproduce  them,  with  a  vivid  and  intense  realism,

which  are  in  dialect,  have  an  original  and  delectable 
humor,  united  to  genuine  dramatic  power.  The

was  a  native  of  Charleston,  S.  C,  and  a  graduate  of

editor  of  the  Charleston  Literary  Guzrllt,  but  found 
leisure  in  his  journalistic  work  to  pay  ardent  court  to 
the  Muses.  His  lirst  collection  of  poems  appeared  in 
1855,  and  was  favorably  received  especially  by  those 
who  sympathized  with  the  culture  characteristic  of  the 
South.  811.42.

Holmes,  Oliver  WendeU.     [1S09-TS94.] 

Physician,  poet,  and  prose-writer,  familiarly  known 
as  "  The  Autocrat" — the  title  of  his  chief  work,  a 
series  of  discursive  papers,  "The  Autocrat  of  the 
Breakfast-Table."  Here  we  have  the  wise  and  witty 
talk  of  a  mature  mind,  splendidly  ecjuipped  Holmes 
belongs  to  the  "old  school  poets"— to  the  gay  band

with  such  variations  of  theme  .is  .attach  to  his  profes- 
sional and  academic  life  in  the  cultured  circles  of  New 
England.  His  verse,  as  in  "The  Last  Leaf,"  "The 
Chambered  Nautilus,"  "The  Living  Temple,"  ex- 
presses his  bright,  joyous,  youthful  nature:  its  grace- 
ful strains  represent  many  moods — the  jocund,  the 
serious,  the  brilliant,  and  the  familiar.  His  stronger 
and  sturdier  muse  is  seen  in  his  later  pieces,  in  patri- 
otic themes,  fraternal  greetings,  academic  odes — poems 
for  occasions.     Holmes'  personality,  with  its  sprightly 


humor  and  genial  optimism,  is  equally  exhibited  in  his 
prose-work,  especially  in  the  earlier  volumes.  Hardly 
anything  could  be  more  delightful  than  the  several 
issues  of  the  "  Breakfast  Table  "  series.

Hood,  Thomas.     [1798- 1845.] 

Poet  and  humorist,  best  known  by  his  pathetic 
"Bridge  of  Sighs,"  and  the  immortal  "Song  of  the 
Shirt."  Though  a  brooding  melancholy  overshadows 
even  his  gayest  and  most  ludicrous  verse,  it  has  fresh- 
ness, originality,  and  power.  He  h.id  a  wonderful  girt 
of  rhyming,  and,  in  an  unexcelled  degree,  saw  the 
ludicrous  side  of  things.  Not  a  few  of  his  poems 
were  called  forth  by  the  deep  human  interests  of  h' 
time,  and  touch  the  heart  to-day  >as  closely  as  when 
lirst  they  saw  the  light.  With  capacity  for  gre.it 
poetry,  his  needs  kept  him  for  the  most  part  busy  in 
turning  out  whimsicalities  for  the  Comic  Annua/, 
IlooiVs  ^taganintx  and  Punch,  There  are  few  sat 'res

Hutton ,  Richard  Holt.     [  i  S  26- .  ] 

English  journalist,  essayist,  and  critic;  editor  of 
the  London  Sfuctntor.  He  is  the  author  of  the  mono- 
graph on  Sir  Walter  Scott  in  the  "English  Men  of 
Letters  Series,"'  a  delightful  and  discriminating  piece 
of  criticism.  His  collected  writings  embrace  some  five 
volumes  of  essays  and  criticisms,  from  the  point  of 
view  of  a  cultured  orihodo.x  writer,  on  theological  and 
literary  subjects.  They  are  well-informed,  sane,  and 
assured  in  their  matter  and  style  ;  and,  while  con- 
servative on  matters  of  belief,  are  tolerant  and  sym- 
pathetic. In  matters  of  literary  criticism,  Mr. Hutton

Irving,  Washington.    [17S3-1859.] 

Ir"ing  is  amonii  the  first  "li  American  Men  of 
Letters  ;  "  the  Goldsmith  of  our  aRc,"  Thackeray  called 
him.  As  an  author,  he  is  distin^'uishcd  by  refined  feel- 
ing, delicacy  of  sentiment,  anti  a  charming  ease  and 
simplicity.  His  style  was  fashioned  on  the  best  model 
— that  of  Addison,  Goldsmith,  and  Lamb— anil  though 
at  times  ornate  and  over-fanciful,  it  is  always  clear, 
limpid,  and  flowing.  His  reputation  abroad  was  first 
won  by  his  "  Sketch  Book,"  which  Sir  Walter  Scott 
was  instrumental  in  publishing;  it  was  "the  first  link 
in  the  bond  of  literary  sympathy  between  the  Old 
World  and  the  New."  His  other  writings  embrace  the 
"  Salmagundi  "  and  the  "  Crayon  "  Papers.  "Tales  of  a 
Traveller,"  "Knickerbocker's  History  of  New  York," 
"The  Conquest  of  Gran.ida,"  and  "The  Alhambra," 
with  Lives  of  Columbus,  Goldsmith,  and  Washington. 
Irving's  own  life  has  been  written  by  his  relative, 
Pierre  M.  Irving,  and  by  C.  Dudley  Warner,  the  latter 
appearing  in  the  "American  Men  of  Letters  Series"

Jackson,    Helen    Fiske     Hunt    ('■  H.     PL"). 
[1S31-1SS5.] 

One  of  the  many  d.iughters  of  American  song,  who, 
by  force  of  earnest  feeling  and  sympathetic  culture. 


have  done  excellent  work,  both  In  prose  and  verse. 
Her  poems,  which  are  mostly  In  a  single  key,  "  lack," 
says  Mr.  Stedman,  "the  variety  of  mood  which  be- 
tokensan  inborn  and  alwaysdominant  poetic  faculty." 
She  has,  however,  a  cultivated  mind,  considerable 
fancy  and  imaginative  insight,  and  an  experience  of 
the  world,  which,  with  tender  feeling,  enables  her  to 
touch  the  lyre  deftly  and  move  the  heart.  She  has 
written  some  delightful  books  of  travel,  many  charm- 
ing stories,  and  one  or  two  books  of  home  talk  for 
young  folk.  Her  arraignment  of  ihe  United  States 
Government,  in  "  A  Century  of  Dishonor,"  for  its  in- 
considerate treatment  of  Indians,  created  a  sensation 
on  its  appearing,  and  did  good.  811.4.

Keats,  John.     [1796-1821.] 

The  most  gifted  and  promising  of  English  poets 
who  have  died  young.  He  had  in  a  remarkable  de- 
gree the  Greek  sense  of  the  beautiful.  tliou;,'h  lacking 
the  moral  stamina  to  make  his  worship  of  it  divine. 
In  the  lyrical  (juality  of  his  verse  he  is  unsurpassed, 
one  might  almost  say  unapproached,  by  any  other 
writer;  and,  as  Matthew  Arnold  remarks,  "  no  one 
else  in  English  poetry,  save  Shakespeare,  has  in  ex- 
pression ciuite  the  fascinating  felicity  of  Keats,  his 
perfection  of  loveliness."  When  we  consider  the 
moral  defects— what  Wordsworth  termed  "  the  pretty 
Paganisms'"— of  his  writings,  we  must  allow  for  his 
youth  and  the  compelling  force  of  his  lu.xuriant  imagi- 
niition.  But  much  is  condoned  by  the  almost  perfect 
art  of  his  best  work,  which  includes  the  unfinished 
but  noble  epic,  "Hyperion";  the  poem,  "  Endy- 
mion,"  which  Shelley  pronounced  "full  of  some  of  the 
highest  and  the  finest  gleam  j  of  poetry  "  ;  "  The  Eve  of 
St.  Agnes,"  oneof  the  mcst  perfect  of  the  poet's  works; 
and  the  narrative  poem,  "  Lamia,"  with  its  lu.xurious 
and  haunting  beauty.  For  a  brief  biogmphical  sketch 
and  critical  estimate,  see  Lowell's  "Among  My 
Books."  821.78.

Kipling,  Rudyard.     [  i  S64- .  ] 

An  Anglo-Indian  novelist  and  poet  of  high  achieve- 
ment and  promise.  The  swing  of  Kipling  s  verse,  its 
dramatic  realism,  \\.f,  abandon^  together  with  the  felici- 
ty of  his  words  and  phrases,  and  the  vigor  of  his  in- 
terpretative power,  have  given  him  a  unique  place 
among  present  day  poets.  Besides  the  freshntss  and 
spontaneity  of  his  genius,  he  h.as  fire  and  dash,  fertile 
im.igination,  and  a  wonderful  power  of  setting  forth  a 
scene  or  a  char.acter.  His  verse  has  the  true  b.illad 
"go"  and  movement,  now  rising  into  tragedy  and 
anon  dropping  into  audacious  deviltry,  and  fun.

Lamb,  Charles.    [1775-1834.] 

I'dct  and  essayist,  anil  one  of  the  masters  of  English 
humor,  in  its  most  droll,  yut  delicate  i\ncl  retined  form. 
His  audience  must  always  be  a  sticct  ont',  the  culti- 
vated few,  who  tan  appreciate  the  whims  and  fancies 
of  a  scholarly  recluse,  and  are  in  sym|iathy  with  his 
thoughtful  moods,  his  playful  conceits  or  tender  pathos. 
His  style  is  Addisoni.in  in  its  ease  and  purity,  though 
from  the  early  Rli/ahethans,  for  whom  I,aml>  had  a 
great  liking,  it  derived  a  vein  of  the  dramatic.  His 
poetry  is  too  scant  for  notice  here.  He  is  l)est  known 
as  an  essayist,  and  in  that  field,  "  Klia,"  in  his  hap- 
piest moods,  is  the  must  cnarming  companion.

Landor,  Walter  Savage.     [1775-1S64.] 

Poet,  essayist,  and  miscellaneous  writer.  He  be- 
longs to  the  patrician  order  in  letters,  for  he  wrote 
(or  "the  tit  few,"  in  moods  as  fitful  as  his  errant, 
sybaritic,  dilettante  taste  moved  him.  Curiously 
enough,  he  was  a  radical  in  politics,  and,  like  Byron, 
was  a  passionate  enemy  of  tyranny  and  oppression. 
Vet  his  genius  recoiled  from  the  new  democracy:  in 
manner  as  well  as  in  letters  he  was  an  aristocrat ;  though 
a  man  of  our  mijdern  world,  a  devotee  of  ancient  cul- 
ture and  saturated  with  its  spirit.  His  poetry  is  chiefly 
dramatic,  with  high  lyrical  quality  of  the  classic  order, 
easy  and  elegant  in  its  flow.  He  wrote  blank  verse 
with  an  almost  Miltonic  distinction,  and  his  prose  has 
the  highest  of  <|ualities— those  conferred  by  the  profound 
thinker,  who  is  at  the  same  time  a  cultured  artist. 
Landor  is  best  known  by  his  varied  series  of  "Imagi- 
nary Conversations  of  Literary  Men  and  Statesmen," 
and  by  his  "  Pericles  and  Aspasia" — the  latter  esteemed 
by  Stedman  "  the  purest  creation  of  sustained  art  in 
English  prose."

Lanier,  Sidney.    [1842-1881.J 

Southern  poet,  critic,  and  musician.  A  new  but 
short-lived  voice,  of  high  promise,  arose  in  the  South 
with  t.anicr.  The  poetical  ipialities  are  well  marked 
in  his  verse,  but,  as  in  "The  Marshes  of  (llynn,"  he 
vainly  sought  to  e.x|iress  in  words  the  ideas  for  »  hich 
music  alone  is  adeipiate.  Like  Hayne,  lie,  too, 
espoused  the  Confederate  cause  in  the  war.  A  vol- 
ume of  his  select  verse  has  been  edited  for  schools  by  a 
professor  in  the  I'niversily  of  Texas;  but  the  best  and 
fullest  collection  is  that  edited,  with  an  admiral>le  me-

aci|uaintance  witli  the  structure  of  Knglish  poetry,. ind 
published  a  clever  analysis  of  it  in  his  '  Science  of  Eng-

Longfellow,  Henry  Wadsworth.    [1807-1882.] 

Deservedly  the  most  popular  among  .American 
poets,  with  a  deep  hold,  too,  on  the  affections  of  Knglish 
readers.  A  man  of  wide  and  varied  culture  and  higli 
literary  attainments,  he  had  the  artist's  its  well  as  the 
pfiet's  instinct  for  melody  and  form.  His  work  im- 
presses the  memory  by  its  gracefulness,  felicity,  and 
vivid  beauty,  although  he  has  no  profound  or  original 
message  to  deliver.  In  an  especial  degree.  Longfel- 
low possessed  the  faculty  of  winning  hearts  hy  his 
human  sympathies,  earnest  moral  nature,  and  power 
of  touching  the  emotions.  His  genius,  it  has  been 
said,  is  more  European  than  American;  but  native 
characteristics  are  well  developed  in  such  song-tlieines 
.as  "  Evangeline,"  "Hiawatha,"  "  The  Courtship  of 
Miles  Standish,"  "The  New  England  Tragedies," 
and  the  poetical  narratives  entitled  "The  Talcs  of  a 
Wayside  Inn."  Perhaps  the  popular  mind  is  m<jst 
attracted  by  the  poet's  shorter  meditative  verse,  of 
which  "  The  Psalm  of  Life  "  and  "  The  Day  is  Done  " 
arc  examples.  He  has  added  to  his  laurels  by  his 
translation  of  Dante.  Stedman,  in  "Poets  of  Amer- 
ica," gives  an  excellent  study  of  Longfellow.

Lowell,  Jamei  Rusiell.    [1811/-1891.] 

Lowell  was  not  only  a  versutlle  and  dJNtinKuialied 
man  of  letters,  but  a  ^reat  citizen,  who  at  home  and 
Abroad  made  his  voice  and  his  pen  most  effective  in 
the  service  of  his  country.  In  nearly  all  he  wrote  he 
Atandi<  for  ri^ht  and  justice,  and  this  sharpened  his 
wit,  instead  of  dullinK  it,  as  happens  with  all  artists 
but  the  best.  "The  Bigluw  Papers,"  the  dialect  for 
which  he  mastered  during  a  rustication,  are  as  soundly 
patriotic  as  humorous.  In  his  "  Commemoration  Ode," 
delivered  at  Harvard  at  the  close  of  the  Civil  War,  he 
rises  to  the  full  height  of  his  genius  as  un  American 
first  and  always.  He  w.is  in  thorouKh  sympathy  with 
the  new  knowledge  of  his  time,  as  readers  of  his  tine 
sonnet,"  I  grieve  not  that  ripe  knowledge  takcsaway," 
Are  well  aware.  In  another  and  equally  elevated  strain 
Is  "  Extreme  Unction."  In  "The Cathedral,"'  a  poem, 
in  the  main  excellent,  he  shows  his  chief  defects— an 
inability  to  restrain  his  love  of  th*"  comic,  to  keep  a 
story  free  from  intrusive  and  whimsical  episodes. 
His  "Fable  for  Critics,"  admirable  in  many  of  its 
characterizations,  is  not  always  fair,  as  notably  in  his 
treatment  of  Margaret  Fuller.  His  prose,  which  in- 
cludes "  Fireside  Travels,"  "  Among  My  Books,"  and 
"My  Study  Wind<iws,"  contains  the  most  brilliant, 
witty,  and  withal  learned  criticism  thus  far  written  in 
America.  In  "My  Study  Windows"  is  the  famous 
essay,  "On  a  certain  condescension  in  foreigners." 
For  discerning  and  sympathetic  criticism  of  Lowell 
see  Stedman's  "  Poets  of  America."  811.37.

Macaulay,  Thomas  Babington.    [1800-1859.] 

The  most  pictorial  prose-wrilcr  in  English  litera- 
ture. His  po,  er  of  graphic  narration  has  enabled 
him  to  enrich  the  literature  of  history  and  biography 
with  scenes  and  studies  that  become  an  imperishable 
possession  to  his  reader.  The  characteristics  of  his 
style  are  strength  and  clearness.  His  fondness  for  an- 
tithetical writing  often  overcomes  his  sense  of  justice, 
and  leads  him,  partisan  fashion,  to  laud  one  man  by 
defaming  another.  This  is  notably  the  case  in  both 
his  history  and  his  essays.  But  despite  these  defects, 
Macaulay  is  a  very  great  and  inspiring  writer.  For  an 
excellent  characterization  of  him  see  Minto's  "  Manual 
of  English  Prose  Literature"  (Bost,,  Ginn,  $i.so).

Miller,  Oinolnnatui  Hlner  ("  Joaquin  Miller  "). 
[1842-.] 

Poet  and  journalist,  best  known  by  his  "  Songs  of 
the  Sierras."  A  native  of  Indiana,  Miller,  when  a 
lad,  accompanied  his  father  to  Oregon,  thence  found 
his  way  to  the  mines  of  California,  where  his  muse 
responded  to  the  inspirations  and  characteristics  of 
the  time  and  place.  Afterwards  he  led  an  expedition 
against  hostile  Indians  in  Oregon,  and  for  a  time  be- 
came a  District  Judge.  Miller  has  many  of  the  true 
qualities  of  the  poet  ;  he  has  imagination,  invention, 
poetic  tire,  and,  at  times,  a  thrilling  descriptive  fac- 
ulty, especially  when  under  the  inspiration  of  nature 
in  the  Far  West.  811.45.

Milton,  John.     [1608-1674.] 

Milton  united  the  intellectual  culture  of  the  Eliza- 
bethan with  the  moral  grandeur  of  the  Puritan.  In  his 
masc)ues,  odes,  and  epics  we  see  the  three  successive 
states  or  qualities  of  his  mind — the  blithe,  the  pensive, 
and  the  austere.  To  the  first  two  belong  the  poems 
written  before  his  fortieth  year— "  L'Allegro  "  (the 
cheerful  man),  "  II  Penseroso"  (the  meditative  man), 
the  masques  "Arcades,"  and  "  Comus,"  the  sonnet 
on  Shakespeare,  and  the  sublime  ode,  "  On  the  Morn- 
ing of  Christ's  Nativity";  to  the  latter  belong  the 
noble  epics,  "Paradise  Lost"  and  "Paradise  Re- 
gained," and  the  tine  dramatic  poem,  "Samson 
Agonistes,"  written  in  poverty  and  blindness  after  the 
Restoration.  Between  these  periods  lie  the  ywir-.  of 
fierce  polemical  controversy,  in  which  Milton  wrote, 
in  Latin  or  in  English,  his  political  pamphlets  and  re- 
ligious treatises.  In  sublimity  and  moral  grandeur 
Milton  stands  higher  as  a  poet  than  Shakespeare; 
and  greater  than  the  poet  is  the  man.  Students  are 
commended  to  read  Macaulay's  masterly  essay  on 
Milton  in  his  "  Historical  and  Critical  Essays ''  (N.  \  . ,

lyrical  urace,  inui  h  heightened— in  the  case  of  the

of  legendary  and  romantic  character,  in  much  the

Pope,  Alexander.     |i(iSS 

In  imicli  is  tlie  follower  of  Dryden  ;  his  verse  is  of 
value  chiilly  as  a  rellex  of  the  moral  anil  social  condi- 
tion ol  his  af;e.  It  represents  its  .irliliciality,  its  polish. 
and  Its  wit.  The  heroic  couplet  is  his  favorite  vehicle 
of  expression,  and  in  its  satiric  as  well  as  frolicsome 
use  Pope  brou^'ht  it  to  perfection.  His  most  serious 
undertakiiiK'  was  his  verse  iiaraphr.ises  of  the  "  Iliad  " 
and  "Odyssey,"  which  have  maile  Hor.e-  best  known 
to  iMiKlish  readers.  His  chief  poei.is  arc'  "The  Dun- 
ciad,"  a  bitter  satire,  in  which  I'o'O  vindicates  litera- 
ture from  the  dulla  ils  -ini'  oimcsof  his  time  that 
usurped  Its  livery  ;  the  mock-heroic  poem,  "  The  K.ipi' 
of  the  Li>ck '*  ;  and  the  "  I'-ssay  (tn  Man,''  a  didactic 
poem  on  the  oriKin  of  evil,  \emplifyinn  his  character- 
istic "careless  lllinkin^^  c.irefiilly  versilied.''  To 
tuese  three  poems,  I'ope,  in  ll  '  main,  owes  his  fame.

as  his  literary  work.  Perhaps  the  best  kno.  as  it  is 
the  most  characteristic  of  Rosselti's  poems,  1.  "The

Ruskin,  John.     1 1 S  k)-  .  | 

Poet,  critic,  .md  eloipient  prose-writer  on  the  true 
and  be.uililul  in  N.itiire  and  Art.  Mr.  Kiiskin  lirst 
won  f.inie  li>  the  publication  of  his  "  Modern  P.ii  liters," 
.1  plea  for  the  superiority  in  :.rt  of  the  modern  over 
the  ancient  m.isters  ot  landsi.ipe  p. liniin^,  and  .1  de- 
fence, in  espei  ial,  of  the  method  ami  work  of  Turner 
.mil  the  art  piinciplesof  the  I're-Raph.ielite  School. 
This  work  was  followed  by  "Stones  of  Venice" 
and  "Seven  Lamps  of  .\rchiteeture  "  ;  .ifterw.irds  he 
di'livered  his  etoipient  and  inspiring;  lay  sermons  on 
the  mystical  union  between  N.iture  and  ;\rt,  Pe.uitv 
and  I'tility,  and  their  rellev,  in  the  reMicnti.il 
homaf;e  for  the  be.iuliful  .iiui  the  worlhv,  in  the 
mind  and  char.ietcr  of  the  race.  In  this  l.ittcr  ser- 
viic  he  has  produced  .1  j^rcit  body  of  tine  and 
thoiifjhtful  work,  which  is  as  instructive  .is  ii^  inean- 
iiiy  is  profound.  MiTc,  as  elsewhere  in  his  wriiin^^s, 
the  Ruskinian  doctrines  come  stron^;ly  out,  colored 
.ilways  by  an  ami.ible  ej.;otisin  .mil  enforced  by  .1  more 
or  less  arrogant  dof;nialisin.  Hut  his  works,  despite 
iui  onsistency  and  eccentricity,  have  deservedly  be- 
come classic,  no  less  from  the  wealth  and  iiiipressive- 
ness  of  the  thought  than  from  the  eh^ipieme  .mil 
splendor  of  the  diction.  Mr.  W.ildstem  .s.iys  :  "Who. 
ever  has  read  the  works  of  Riiskin  will  there. ilter  .ip- 
proaih  11. nine  with  a  new  f.ieulty  of  appreciation,  will 
h.ive  his  attention  directed  to  wh.it  he  before  passed  by

Scott,  Sir  Walter.     [1771-1832.] 

Has,  in  an  especial  detjree,  the  fervid  patriotism  char- 
acteristic of  his  countrymen.  Beyond  al!  the  writers 
of  North  Britain — Hums  .ilona  excepteil — it  is  Scott 
who  has  yiven  the  "  Laml  of  the  Heather"  itsendur- 
inf.;  fame.  His  literary  career  hegan  hy  hringiii};  (Hit  a 
collection  of  the  "  Minstrelsy  of  the  Scottish  Border." 
His  enthusiasm  for  ballad  poetry,  his  chivalrousspirit, 
ami  Ins  varie<l  antiijuarian  lore,  coupled  with  a  rich 
fancy  ami  wonderful  power  of  narration,  accfiunt  for 
his  success  tirst  as  a  poet,  and  afterwards  — when  the 
poetic  vein  had  workeil  itself  out— as  a  noveli  it  It  is 
as  a  poet  we  have  here  to  do  w  ith  him.  In  poetry,  his 
IjTical  yifts  and  powers  of  animateti  narration  have 
j4iven  him  not  a  pre-eminent,  l>ut  still  a  hiyh  place. 
His  linest  productmns  are  "  Marmion  :  a  Taleof  Klod- 
den  Field,"  "The  I.ady  of  the  Lake,"  and  the  "  Lay 
of  the  Last  Minstrel."  Scott's  style— which  is  far 
from  a  careful  one— is  easy,  rapid,  and  (,'rapliic.  }lis 
poetic  fame  is,  however,  overshad<>wed  by  the  success 
he  attained  as  a  writer  of  prose  liction.  821.74.

Shnkespeare,  William.     [1564-iriif).] 

Indisputably  the  first  of  the  world's  dramatists  and 
poets.  His  creative  power,  mastery  of  the  resources 
of  l,inj;ua^e,  his  many-sided  intellect  and  soaring;  yifts 
of  imagination,  make  him  unapproachable,  Va,.t  is 
the  bibliojjraphy  connected  with  Shakespeare  ;  here  it 
is  possible  only  to  note  a  few  of  the  standaril  conleni- 
pttrary  editions,  critical  works,  and  more  notable  com- 
mentaries. The  beginner  does  well  who  takes  up  one 
of  these  works  of  criticism,  for  there-  is  dross  as  well  as 
j;old  in  Shakespeare,  and  to  understand  his  meaning 
many  terms  and  allusi>>iis  need  to  be  explained.

and  a  brilliant  litter, ittur.  He  is  one  of  the  ureat  prose-

Spenser,  Edmund,     [i 552-1 5()().l 

Elizabethan  laureate,  who  chielly  owes  his  fame  lo 
Ills  threat  allegorical  epic,  "The  Kaerie  JJueene."  In 
its  moral  beauty, and  in  the  musical  How  of  the  poem. 
It  takes  rank  with  the  very  noblest  Knjjlish  verse,  de- 
spite the  tediousness  of  its  allegory.  The  motive  is 
tc  describe  the  warfare  of  twelve  kniglits  against  all 
forms  of  evil,  which  in  tile  poet's  pages  become  real 
personages,  and  contend  with  the  knights  who  repre- 
sent the  chief  virtues.  Among  his  other  productions  are 


"  The  Shepherd's  Calendar,"  a  tender  p.istoral  poem, 
dedicated  to  the  poet's  patron,  Sir  Philip  Sidney; 
"  Prothalaniion,"  "a  spousal  verse  "  ;  the  "  Hymn  In 
Honour  of  Beauty  "  ;  some  line  sonnets  ;  and  the  mag- 
nilicent  nuptial  ode,  "  Epithalamion,"  in  which  Spen- 
ser celebrates,  with  chaste  but  rather  chiying  ardor, 
his  own  marriage.  For  an  illuminating  study  of  the 
poet,  see  Lowell's  "  Among  My  Hooks."  821.31.

Stedman,  Edmund  Clarence.     [1S33-.] 

.American  poet,  critic,  and  man  of  letters.  Mr.  Sted- 
m.ui  began  life  as  ;i  journalist,  and  for  a  time  acted  as.i 
war  correspondent.  He  afterwards  forsook  journalism 
for  finance  ;  in  recent  years  he  has  devoted  himself  to 
literature.  Besides  writing  verse  of  dislinctiipii,  he  has 
engaged  in  the  work  of  literary  criticism,  of  which  his 
"  Victori.m  Poets"  and  "  Poets  of  America  ''  are  emi- 
nent examples.  He  has  recently,  with  the  assistance 
of  Miss  Ellen  M.  Hutchinson,  passed  through  the 
press  a  great  treasury  of  American  literature,  in 
eleven  octavo  volumes.  Mr.  Stedman  isa  h.ghly  com- 
petent, sane,  and  discerning  iritic,  brin^'iig  to  his 
tasks  rare  and  scholarly  .acipiireinents,  a.*.d  judgment 
matured  in  the  successful  practice  of  creative  art. 
Remarkable,  also,  is  his  catholicity  of  taste  and  judg- 
ment. In  1891  he  inaugurated  the  Turnbull  Lecture- 
siiip  on  Poetry  at  the  Johns  Hopkins  I'niversily,  by  a 
scries  of  lectureson  the  nalureand  .lements  of  poetry, 
which  were  repeated  in  the  following  je.ir  before  the 
I'niversity  of  Co'.umbi.i,  811.43.

I'oet  and  man  of  letters,  at  present  literary  editor

worker  in  varied  paths  of  literature,  an  accomplished 
edit'tr  in  biography  and  criticism  — notably  ;n  the 
"  Sans-SoUci '*  .iiul  "  Hric  ii-Hrac  "  series— autlior  of

Herrick,  Tennyson,  and  the  (lerman  Heine.'  He  hasa

Swinburne,  Algernon  Charles,     f!-*.!;-.] 

'I'he  gre.itest  living  luiglish  poet.  In  his  early 
sensuous  but  mellilluous  verse  he  forfeited  the  recog- 
nition which  his  eminent  aliilities  and  hue  lyrical  gifts 
ought  to  have  won  for  him.  In  spite  of  this,  and  of 
his  later  outburslsof  Republicanism  and  symp.ithy  with 
regicides,  Swinburne's  place  is  among  the  immortals 
of  sotig.  Few  writers  of  verse  have  had  a  finer  ear 
than  he  for  melody  and  poetic  form,  or  a  more  thor- 
ough mastery  over  the  technicalities  of  metrical  com- 
position. His  tirst  successful  poem  was  "Atalanta  in 
Calydon,"  a  splendid  classical  trageily.lliiwless  in  form 
and  spirit.  Kollowing  this  came  the  successive  trage- 
dies which  ciuistitute  a  trilogy— "Chastelard,"  "  Hotli- 
wcll,"  and  "  Mary  (Jueen  of  Scots."  Tliise,  with  his 
"Songs  Before  Sunrise"  and  "Songs  of  the  Spring 


Tides,''  comprise  the  bulk  of  Swinburne's  verse.  His 
writings  include  also  a  number  of  tine  critical  prose 
essays.  821.86.

toucheil  American  thought  on  many  sides,  and  made 
e.xcellent  though  not  great  contributions  t.T  .American 
letters.  Beginning  life  as  a  journalist,  he  early  mani- 
fested a  passion  for  travel,  the  literature  of  which  be 
has  enriched  by  his  "  \'iews  Afoot  "  and  "  By-Waysof 
Europe."'  as  well  as  liy  his  "  Poems  of  the  Orient  "  .and 
"  Poems  of  Home  and  Tr.ivel."  His  glowing,  though 
strong,  literary  style  makes  these  works  attractive, 
apart  from  the  incidents  they  describe.  As  an  accom- 
plished (iermaii  scholar,  lie  has  left  behind  him  one  of 
the  best  English  tr.inslations  of  (loethe's  "  Faust,"  to- 
gether with  an  excellent  series  of  "  Stuilies  in  German

feeling.  811.46.

Tennyson,  Alfred,  Lord.    [1S09-1S92.] 

(i  real  est  of  the  Victorian  poets  and  con  sum  mate  art- 
ist in  verse.  He  lacked  the  dramatic  faculty,  and  had 
but  slender  gifts  of  invention  anil  cre.ition.  But  among 
Idyllic  poets  he  staiKls  pre-eniinent  ;  bis  "  Idylls  of  tlie 
King"  give  a  great  legend  its  noblest  setting.  Never 
has  literature  had  such  a  master  of  lyrical  verse  ;  while 
in  stateliness  and  rhythm  his  blank  verse  attains  al- 
in  'St  i\liltoiiic  heights.  A  like  comparison  might  be 
made  with  Milton,  in  that  niagnilicent  burst  ofelegi.ic 
song,  "  In  Memoriam,"  written,  like  "  Lycidas,"  to 
assuage  a  poet's  grief  on  the  loss  of  a  friend.  Tenny- 
son's writings  worthily  represent  hisagi'.  and  manifesl 
many  of  the  highest  (|ualities  of  the  thought  and  art 

of  his  time.     In  "  The  Two  Voices, Ihe  Talking 

O.ik,"  and  in  much  else  of  his  work,  we  see  how  pro- 
foundly new  knowleilge  illuminiites  world-i.al  prob- 
lems, though  it  cannot  solve  them.  Not  less  distinc- 
tively the  products  of  the  time  are  the  story  of  "  The 
Princess,"  the  metrical  romance  of  ".Maud,"  and  the 
wealth  of  his  other  descriptive,  narr.itive,  aii^l  lyric. il

Poet  of  retlectioii  and  contemphition,  writer  of  son- 
nets, hrics,  odes,  philosophical  poems,  and  other  sub- 
jective verse.  Matthew  .-Xrnold  esteems  Wordswi^rth 
"  oneof  thechief  glories  of  Knu'lish  poetry,"  and  |)laces 
him  next  to  Shakespeare  and  Milton.  He  frankly  ad- 
mits, however,  tli;it  his  hif;li  poetic  achievement  is 
much  detr.icted  from  by  a  considerable  volume  of  in- 
ferior and  encumberinji  verse.  His  best  work  is  to  be 
found  in  his  shorter  pieces,  in  which  he  "  pipes  a  sim- 
ple sonj;  for  thinking  he;irts."  A  liii.'h  philosophy 
underlies  much  of  his  work  ;  but  its  chief  distinction  is 
the  poet's  intense  love  of  Nature,  sympathy  with 
human  feelinys  and  emotions,  high  sense  of  duty,  ;ind 
idealizing  power  of  imagination,  .-\diled  to  this  is  a 
pervading  elevation  of  lone  and  e.x<|uisite  simplicity 
and  beauty  of  language.  His  chief  works  are  "  The 
Ivxcursion  "  and  "The  Prelude,"  leiigtlu' philosfjphi- 
cal  poems  in  blank  verse,  the  latter  chiefly  ;iulobio- 
firaphical ;  I.yric.il  Ballads,  Sonnets,  "Yarrow  Re- 
visited," and  a  romantic  narrative  poem,  "  The  White 
Doe  of  Rylstone.  His  fame  rests,  however,  on  his 
shorter  pieces— such  as  "  l.ucy  (Jray,"  "  Peter  Bell,"

"  The  religious  mylhs  t)f  antiijuitv  and  the  fireside  lecencis  of  ancient  and  modrrn  times  have  their  common  root  in  the 
mental  liabits  of  primeval  htiniaiiitv.  Tlifv  are  the  earliest  rciorded  utterances  of  men  ciincerning  the  visible  phenomena  of  the 
World  into  which  they  were  born." — JoMN  I''ISK1-:,  "  Myths  and  Mythmakers." 


The  books  in  this  list  have  been  selected,  not 
only  with  reference  to  their  intrinsic  merit,  but 
as  representing  the  spirit  of  modern  scientific 
inquiry.  General  rather  than  special  treatises 
have  been  given  preference,  and  such  as  are 
most  comprehensive  and  suggestive  to  the  stu- 
dent and  collector  of  folk-lore.

FINE  ART. 


A  SKI.KCTION    IROM    ITS    I.ITIIFMTURE   BY 


JViW  Yorh,  June,  1895. 


RUSSEl.L  STURGIS,  A.M.,  Ph.D., 

I'lUow  o/tht  American  Institute  0/ Architects. 


I'RKKATORY  NOTE. 

The  Fine  Arts  are  those  which  are  concerned 
with  beauty,  expression,  and  the  power  of  giv- 
ing intelligent  and  exalted  pleasure  throujj;h  the 
senses.  The  term  is  often  used  for  those  fine 
arts  only  which  appeal  to  the  eye;  it  is  iti  this 
sense  that  it  is  used  in  these  notes. 

These  fine  arts  are  called  plastic,  or  concerned 
with  moulding  xnd  shaping;  and  i'iti/>/i!<,  or 
concerned  with  drawing. 

The  plastic  arts  we  call  in  general  sculpture, 
the  graphic  arts  we  call  painting,  which  term, 
however,  must  be  stretched  to  include  drawing 
with  many  different  materials,  engraving,  and 
especially  engraving  made  for  printing  upon 
paper. or  other  material,  and  also  decoration 
in  mosaic  and  other  kinds  of  inlay.  These 
last,  it  will  be  noticed,  are  merely  applications 
to  permanent  materials  and  in  a  peculiar  way, 
as  by  cutting  and  shaping,  of  the  general  prin- 
cijile  of  drawing  on  Hat  surfaces. 

The  Decorative  Arts  are  the  same  fine  arts 
applied  and  put  to  use  in  making  necessary 
things  beautiful.  The  chief  of  decorative  arts 
is  Architecture,  in  which  building  is  made  at- 
tractive and  interesting  by  giving  to  it  good 
form  and  good  color,  and  sometimes  by  adding 
sculpture  or  painting,  or  both,  to  the  building. 
Other  decorative  arts  are  Keramics,  (ilasswork 
which  includes  Enamelling,  Metal  Work  of 
many  kinds,  Lacquering  and  other  varnish 
work,  Leather-Work  including  Hook-Binding, 
and  a  multitude  of  arts  in  which  these  different 
ways  of  ornamenting  are  used  to  help  one 
another. 

It  must  be  understood,  before  one  car.  go 
very  far  in  the  enjoyment  of  fine  and  decoiative 
art,  that  it  is  generally  the  object  of  art  it'^elf, 
and  its  o\/n  value  as  a  work  of  art,  that  the 
artist  is  interested  in.  When  a  person  makes  a 
drawing  to  explain  something  that  he  has  seen, 
or  when  a  cut  is  put  into  a  botanv  book  to  ex- 
plain a  llower's  shape  and  make,  that  drawing 
or  cut  will  not  often  be  at  all  valuable  as  a 
work  of  art.  In  like  manner,  fine  art  which 
has  a  narrative  or  explanatory  purpose  is  sel- 
dom very  exalted  art,  and  decorative  art  of 
course  has  no  such  purpose.  Illustration,  as 
in  books  and  weekly  papers,  is  the  best  instance 
there  is  of  fine  art  whLh  has  story-telling  or  in- 


cident for  its  chief  object.  Indeed  it  is  well  to 
use  the  word  "  illustration  "  at  once  and  gen- 
erally for  such  art.  Thus  in  a  book  of  history 
a  picture  of  Washington  bidding  farewell  to  his 
ofiicers  is  illustration  in  so  far  as  an  attempt  is 
made  to  tell  the  story  and  to  get  the  costume 
right  and  the  interior  of  the  room  right;  it  is 
pure  fine  art  in  so  far  as  the  light  and  shade 
and  color  and  the  grace  and  force  of  the  com- 
position are  concerned.  Then  there  are  free- 
dom and  truth  of  gesture,  naturalness  of  group- 
ing, the  prcjbability  of  the  attitudes  and  action 
of  the  personages,  all  of  which  partake  of  both 
illustration  and  fine  art,  and  connect  the  two. 
In  a  general  way,  however,  it  is  true  that 
artists  care  most  about  the  form  and  color  and 
composition,  and  the  resulting  beauty,  origi- 
nality and  interest  in  the  picture  or  the  bas- 
relief.  The  student  of  art  should  of  course  try 
to  see  art  as  artists  see  it;  otherwise  such  stu- 
dent will  remain  in  the  dark  as  to  what  each  in- 
dividual work  of  art  means. 

NOTK   ON   TKANSl.ArlONS. 

As  the  best  books  on  fine  art  are  generally  in 
French  or  in  (jerman,  it  is  well  to  say  that  the 
translations  of  such  books  into  English  are 
generally  very  badly  done.  It  seems  to  be 
thought  that  any  one  who  can  read  a  foreign 
language  with  a  dictionary  is  fit  to  translate  a 
technical  book.  An  effort  should  be  made  by 
librarians  to  have  the  worst  errors  noted.

Much  of  the  best  writing  on  fine  art  is  to 
be  found  in  treatises  on  archicology.  It  is 
limited  to  certain  jranches  :  thus,  a  large  part 
of  Greek  Archa;ology  is  confined  to  sculpture 
and  painted  vases.  Within  the  narrow  limits 
chosen  by  the  writer  the  writing  is  apt  to  be 
very  exact  in  meaning;  and  the  appreciations 
of  the  relative  value  of  ancient  works  of  art 
and  the  classification  as  to  dates  and  schools 
are  often  very  just.

Glossaries  of  technical  terms  are  always  very 
incomplete,  and  generally  poor  in  that  no  at- 
tempt has  been  made  to  k'vc  the  exact  force  of 
the  noun  or  adjective  as  it  would  be  used  in  a 
sentence  written  by  an  artist  or  workman  who 
was  also  an  accurate  writer.  Some  glossaries 
are  named  below.  As  most  libraries  have  good 
English  dictionaries,  it  may  be  said  here  that 
the  Century  Dictionary  contains  by  far  the 
fullest  vocabulary  of  terms  used  in  Architec- 
ture and  in  the  Decorative  Arts  of  all  kinds, 
including  lleraklry  and  Costume,  that  has  ever 
been  brought  together  ;  and,  also,  most  of  the 
important  terms  used  in  painting,  sculpture, 
engraving,  etc.  The  delinitions,  moreover, 
were  prepared  with  peculiar  care.  The  "  In- 
ternational" Webster  Dictionary  of  1890  is  as 
careful  in  this  respect  as  the  Century,  but  only 
a  quarter  as  large  and  as  ful'.

one  and  the  same  room,  one  of  them  devoted  wholly

the  portraits  of  the  Medicean  dukes  all  attached  to  the

Not  a  treatise  on  tine  art,  but  valuable  because 
insisting  on  the  relation  of  the  graphic  arts  to  litera- 
ture and  study.  The  tine  arts  generally  occupy  little 
space  in  "the  intellectual  life"  of  most  scholars  and 
students.  Most  writers  on  subjects  of  human  intelli- 
gence and  its  labors  .and  pleasures  know  very  little  of 
the  tine  arts  and  misundersta.  d  them  ;  for  which  reason 
this  and  other  books  by  men  who  approach  the  consid- 
eration of  such  subjects  from  the  side  of  fine  art  are 
very  valuable  to  the  student.  825.

This  book,  which  ftjrmed  originally  part  of  "  The 
Painters'  Camp."  is  wortli  reading  because  of  its  sug- 
gestiveness.  Thus,  sonw  of  the  various  ways  in  which 
difTerent  painters  undertake  their  work  are  made  clear 
in  the  chapters  "  Painting  from  Nature"  and  "  Paint- 
ing from  Memoranda."  The  general  relation  of  art. 
and  especially  painting,  to  the  general  world  of 
thought  and  perception  is  more  plainly  seen  after 
study  of  Ibis  book,  especially  in  the  chapters,  "Tran- 
scendentalism in  Painting  "and  "  Analysis  and  Syn- 
thesis." The  general  disregard  and  the  comition 
contempt  for  art  among  English-speaking  people  is 
well  e.xplained  and  its  consetjuences  pointed  out.

.^n  extremely  valuable  treatise  on  the  right  princi- 
ples of  learning  to  draw  and  the  way  to  begin  the  study 
of  design.  The  author  seems  to  be  perfectly  aware  of 
the  impossibility  of  teaching  people  to  design,  but  he 
linds  some  imiiortant  general  principles  which  may  be 
hiiddown  asuniversalh  true.  Like  many  artists  whose 
attention  is  given  chielly  to  painting  and  drawing,  he 
f.iils  to  see  the  value  of  such  constructional  architecture 
as  that  of  the  tiothic  style  ,  this  comes  of  the  inherited 
teaching  of  the  Renaissance  and  succeeding  schools. 
The  styleof  the  book  isepigrammiiticand  even  fjinciful. 
It  is  therefore  well  fitted  to  rt.x  the  attention  :  but  such  a 
style  is  apt  to  lead  the  ;iuthor  to  positive  decisions  ad- 
mitting of  no  dilTerences  of  opinion.  Now  in  art  there 
arc  no  truths  so  jiositivc  as  that.  707.

This  book,  dated  1867  (now  out  of  print),  pivcs  an 
interesting  account  of  British  and  foreign  art  as  it  ap- 
peared to  able  and  instructed  Englishmen  ,it  that  time. 
The  author  is  the  brother  of  the  painter  and  poet,  Dante 
Gabriel  Rossetti,  and,  though  not  an  artist  himself,  has 
lived  with  artists  and  has  thought  deeply  on  the  sub- 
ject of  art.  In  1867  he  wasabouithirty-eig'ht  years  old, 
and  his  opinions  were  m.itured.  He  h,-\il  been  a  mem- 
ber of  the  famous  I're-Raphaelite  Broth  rhood  eigh- 
teen years  before  the  appearance  of  this  book.  (Ine  of 
his  essays  is  a  review  of  Mr.  Palgravc's  book,  which

or  three  books  of  his  later  time,  such  as 
Ariadnk  Ki.orkntina,  1S72.  The  English 
editions,  very  costly,  are  the  best. 

Mr.  Ruskin's  writing  on  fine  art  is  to  be  avoided  by 
beginners,  because,  commencing  his  critical  writing  at  a 
very  early  age,  he  committed  himself  to  a  wholly  lalse 
theory  of  tine  art, and  then  abandoned  writing  on  tlie  sub- 
ject at  about  the  age  of  forty,  when  he  would  naturally 
nave  begun  to  correct  liisearly  errors.  A  lofty  morality 
and  a  true  love  of  nature  are  to  be  found  in  his  writings 
of  the  years  1843-62  but  hardly  a  sound  art-criticism.

These  books  have  attracted  much  attention  because 
of  the  literary  reputation  of  their  author,  and  because 
of  the  simplicity  of  his  theoriesand  the  ease  with  which 
they  can  be  grasped  and  remembered,  The  difficulty 
with  such  criticism  is  that  any  simple  theory  about  a 
work  of  art,  its  nature,  its  relation  to  other  works  of 
art  and  its  place  in  the  general  world  of  art,  is  gen- 
erally a  false,  or  at  least  an  inadequate  theory.  If  a 
reader  is  thoroughly  familiar  with  any  group  of  works 
of  tine  art,  or  anyeiioch  or  style  of  art,  he  will  lind  Mr. 
Taine's  criticism  ot^  the  works  or  the  epoch  in  (piestion 
very  feeble  indeeil.  It  is  clear  in  such  a  case  that  the 
scjul  of  a  woik  of  art  and  its  real  nature  as  its  author 
<(inceivcd  it  and  as  his  compeers  understand  it  ,irc 
misunderstood  by  this  writer.  701.

These  biographies    by  Vasari  are  the  groundwork 

of   our  knowledge  of  the  great  Italian  artists  of  the 

15th  and  16th  centuries.    Their  extraordinary  fame  as 

compared    with  the  pojiular  appreciation  of  Spanish, 

Flemish,  or  Dutch   artists  is  in  great  part  due  to  this 

book.    It  Is  extremely  interesting,  full  of  anecdote  and 

picturcsi|ue  narrative,  and  gives  brilliant  pictures  of 

life  in  Italy  during  the  epoch.    The  author's  state-

PART    II. 
PAINTING  AND  SCULPTURE. 


rREI.IMINARY    NOTE  ON    I'AINTIM;. 

Most  writing  about  the  art  of  painting  has 
been  by  persons  not  very  conversant  with  the 
actual  practice  of  the  art.  This  is  true  of  all 
the  fine  arts  ;  but  it  is  especially  true  of  paint- 
ing because  this  art  is  more  popular  than 
others,  and  also  because  persons  who  expect 
to  find  literary,  narrative,  moral  or  religious 
sentiment  in  fine  art  are  naturally  led  to  look 


for  it  most  in  painting.  The  student  should  be 
on  his  guard  against  the  discussion  of  this  art 
as  if  it  were  closely  akin  to  writing  in  prose  or 
verse.  Painting  has  its  own  language  and  its 
own  set  of  ideas,  which  are  sufficient  for  it. 
See  Prefatory  Note. 

I'RKI.IMINARY   NOTK  ON  SCUI.I'Tl'RE. 

Very  little  has  been  published,  in  English, 
on  the  art  of  sculpture,  except  in  the  form  of 
treatises  on  Classical  Archii-ology.  It  is  to  be 
noted,  however,  that  much  of  that  avowedly 
archxological  writing  is  just  and  discriminat- 
ing in  its  dealing  with  sculpture.  The  art  of 
sculpture  is  far  less  misleading  to  those  who 
iiavc  not  especially  studied  it  than  painting  is  ; 
itis  much  less  complicated,  it  is  much  more  direct 
and  simple  in  its  appeal  to  the  sense  of  beauty, 
and  in  its  association  with  nature.  Moreover, 
it  does  pot  appeal  so  strongly  as  painting  to 
the  popular  love  of  anecdote  and  incident  in 
art.  Those  who  wish  to  see  stories  of  battle 
and  adventure,  or  of  domestic  sentiment  and 
pathos,  will  generally  choose  a  collection  of 
pictures  rather  than  a  sculpture  gallery. 
Therefore  the  common  writing  about  fine  art, 
looked  at  from  a  literary  standpoint,  is  far  less 
harmful  in  the  case  of  sculpture  than  in  paint- 
ing.

Scribner,  §2.  769.2. 

These  five  books  may  be  taken  together  as  forming 
a  history  of  Painters  and  Painiing  In  the  sense  that 
they  tell  what  Painters  have  been  successful  and  fa- 
mous In  the  different  countries  of  Europe  and  In  the 
I'nited  States  before  alxjut  i860  ;  that  they  give  dates, 
mention  by  name  the   more  celebrated  pictures,  and 

give  prominence  to  those  artists  who  are  esteemed  the 
ringers  in  of  important  changes  and  as  founders  of 
new  schools.  Considered  as  works  of  criticism,  they 
fall  in  thifi  there  isa  visible  attempt  to  explain  what 
cannot  easily  be  explained  in  words,  except  at  great 
length,  and  that,  moreover,  they  seem  to  be  written 
rather  by  scholars  familiar  with  the  externals  of  art, 
but  knowing  little  of  its  essential  character.  In  these 
respects  the  book  on  water  color  in  England  is  much 
the  best,  but  this  Is  partly  because  359  pages  are  de- 
voted to  this  small  subject  ;  a  space  ten  times  as  great 
as  it  would  occupy  in  proportion  with  the  others.  A 
brief  synoptical  history  of  painting  would  be  best  In 
the  form  of  a  biographical  dlctlimary  of  artists  ar- 
ranged In  the  order  of  their  schools.  If  a  dictionary 
such  as  Bryan's  or  Seuliert's  could  be  rearranged  so 
that  the  notices  would  follow  one  another  systemati- 
cally and  not  alphabetically,  and  made  accessible  by 
a  full  alphabetical  index,  the  comparative  length  of 
the  notices  would  show  the  student  which  were  the 
more  important  artists,  and  d  I  (Terences  of  type  and  so 
forth  might  be  utilized.  In  this  way  the  necessity  of 
keeping  up  <".  continuous  narrative  would  be  avoided. 
Th"  author  would  not  attempt  to  make  his  story  at- 
tractive except  as  to  one  artist  at  a  time.  Something 
like  th  s  is  dime  In  the  volume  above  named  on  Ger- 
man, Flemish,  and  Dutch  Painting,  and  this  is  the  most 
useful  of  the  series.  It  Is  probable  that  books  covering 
so  large  a  field  as  the  painting  of  even  one  great  nation 
are  seldom  read  consecutively  ;  they  are  u.sed  for  refer- 
ence. Only  books  <m  a  much  larger  scale,  with  much 
more  opportunity  for  detail  and  comparison,  can  be 
made  agreeable  reading. 

With  regard  to  one  volume  of  this  series  it  should 
be  said  that  the  sketch  of  American  Art  does  not  in- 
clude the  men  who  have  made  It  what  it  now  is,  even 
artists  so  long  before  the  public  as  La  Farge,  Inness, 
Chase,  and  Martin  being  omitted.  Probably  it  w.-)s 
not  meant  to  include  men  living  when  the  book  was 
written.

The  critical  value  of  different  chapters  v»ries  greatly  ; 
thus  the  account  of  (iothic  sculpture  Is  of  little  utility, 
that  of  sculpture  under  the  Romans  is  marred  by  too 
KrealwillinKncss  to  accept  as  fact  what  is  only  assumed, 
while  the  account  of  nineteenth  century  sculpture  is 
usually  K'Hxl  and  shows  much  critical  insight.  A  great 
deal  of  space  is  taken  up  by  mere  anecdote;  and  this 
has  the  additional  bad  result  that  t  ontemporary  gossip 
about  a  work  of  art  is  allowed  to  influence  opinion 
as  to  the  work  itself  and  its  value.  The  book  ends 
with  two  chapters  on  the  museums  of  Kurone  and 
America,  but  these  are  far  too  brief  to  be  of  much 
value  as  guides  to  the  student.  There  are  about  thirty

TART  III. 
ARCHITECTURE. 


PRELIMINARY   NOTE. 

Although  Architecture  is  a  Decorative  Art, 
and  should  logically  be  put  utider  that  head 
(see  Prifatory  Note),  it  is  more  convenient  to 
treat  it  separately,  especially  because  of  the 
enoriTious  number  and  importance  of  the  books 
in  many  languages  which  are  devoted  to  archi- 
tecture alone.  Of  these  many  fine  and  costly 
books  but  a  small  number  are  in  English, 
either  in  their  original  form  or  in  translation; 
and  of  the  books  which  are  in  English  only  a 
very  few,  and  those  not  often  valuable,  are  of 
moderate  cost. 

The  Fine  Art  of  Architecture  has  a  curious 
history.  I'rom  the  earliest  historical  times  to 
the  15th  century  there  was  a  general  tendency 
for  styles  to  develop  naturally  and  spontaneously 
one  out  of  another.  One  style  would  perhaps 
disappear  in  a  time  of  conquest  and  in  the 
ruin  of  the  civilization  which  had  created  it; 
then  the  conquerors,  perhaps  after  a  long  time 
of  little  artistic  production,  would  evolve  a  new 
style.  Occasional  attempts  were  made  to  re- 
vive a  style  of  former  times,  but  these  were 
never  of  much  importance.  In  the  15th  cen- 
tury, however,  a  deliberate  attempt  was  made 
in  Italy  to  return  to  the  style  of  the  Roman 
Empire;  that  is,  to  the  system  of  architectural 
decoration  seen  in  the  ruined  buildings  of  about 
the  years  50  to  350  a.d,,  found  in  Italy  and 
in  other  countries  on  the  Mediterranean,  This 
was  caused  less  by  admiration  of  the  beauty  of 
those  structures  than  by  reverence  for  the 
mighty  traditions  of  the  Roman  Empire,  and 
by  the  revival  of  class'"al  learning  which  was 
going  on  at  the  same  time.  Alt  this  is  to  be 
studied  in  treatises  upon  the  Renaissance.  The 
style  of  architecture  so  created  by  deliberate 
effort  was  at  first  in  the  hands  of  most  able 
artists,    accomplished  sculptors  and  painters, 


and  it  had  a  fresh  and  original  beauty  of  its  own. 
Soon,  however,   it  grew  to  be  a  more  nearly 

exact  copying  of  the  ancient  structures.  In 
different  forms  this  artificial  style  went  on  devel- 
oping itself  through  the  16th,  17th,  and  iSth  cen- 
turies. During  all  these  years,  as  in  previous 
times  of  more  natural  styles  of  architecture,  no 
man  would  build  in  any  other  style  than  the  one 
accepted;  but  since  the  French  Revolution  all 
has  been  chaos. 

The  books  and  articles  on  Arch-tology  are 
apt  to  contain  much  information  about  archi- 
tecture, but  it  is  to  be  observed  that  their  writers 
have  generally  no  experience  either  in  building 
or  in  designing  buildings. 

Architecture  is  so  complex  an  art  that  positive 
and  peremptory  opinions  about  it  should  be 
mistrusted,  from  whatever  source  th,  y  come. 
Nearly  all  great  excellences  in  the  art  bring 
their  errors  and  faults  with  them  ;  more  than 
the  fine  arts  proper,  architecture  is  a  series  of 
compromises,  and  the  best  has  to  be  given  up 
very  often  for  the  second  best. 


The  attention  of  st  adents  is  called  to  the  Avery 
Architectural  Library  at  Columbia  College,  New 
York.  Mr.  Samuel  P.  Avery  and  his  wife  have 
founded  this  library  as  a  memorial  to  their  son, 
Henry  O.  Avery,  an  architect,  who  died  in  i8(jo. 
Fifty  thousand  dollars  has  already  been  given 
to  this  foundation,  and  expended  in  books  and 
periodicals  on  architecture  and  decorative  art. 
The  choice  of  books  has  been  careful.  The 
library  is  accessible  to  all  persons,  both  by  day 
and  in  the  evening,  except  on  Sundays.

to  be  exclusive  in  one  s  own  w  ay  is  often  good  for  an

the  Roman  buildings  are  said  to  be  of  brick,  which  is

PART  IV. 


MINOR  DBCORATIVK    ARTS  :  COSTUME,     EMHROID- 

ERY,    GIJVSS,    INLAY    AND    MOSAIC,   LEATHER 

WORK,     METAL     WORK.     POTTERY      AND 

PORCELAIN,   TE.VTILE  FAURICS. 

These  arts,  called  also  the  subsidiary  arts  and 
by  other  similar  names,  differ  from  architecture 
only  in  the  comparatively  small  size  and  cost 
and  comparatively  small  importance  to  man- 
kind of  the  objects  which  belong  to  them.  It 
must  be  noted  that  the  essence  of  decorative 
art  is  that  it  adorns  some  object  which  is  neces- 
sary and  useful  in  a  practical  way.  Thus  a  lit- 
tle independent  figure  in  bronze  is  sculpture; 
but  the  pommel  of  a  sword  worked  into  a  simi- 
lar figure  is  decoration  as  well  as  sculpture, 
and  the  whole  sword-hilt  so  adorned  is  a  single 
work  of  decorative  art.  Huildings  do  not  differ 
from  weapons  or  furniture  in  this  respect. 

During  the  past  forty  years  the  literature  of 
these  arts  has  grown  to  enormous  proportions. 
Few  of  the  good  books  are  in  English  and  still 
fewer  are  inexpensive.  The  selection  here 
given  is  of  books  which  are  essentially  artistic. 
Thus  in  costume,  Fairholt's  "Costume  in  Eng- 
land" [(Hohn)  N.  Y.,  Macmillan,  2  vols.,  $3], 
and  I'lanche's  "  History  of  Hritish  Costume" 
in  2  quarto  vols.,  and  also  [(Bohn)  N.  Y.,  Mac- 
millan, 81.50],  are  valuable  historically,  but  are 
not  studies  of  decorative  art.

tendency  in  our  times  towards  mere  taking  of  designs 
from  old  works.  This  shows  how  designs  are  made, 
originally.  The  linal  chapter  gives  good  general  ideas 
as  to  coloring,  and  a  long  bibliography  is  added.

ot  the  last  volume  was  accomplished  by  G.  Nolle-

to  the  music  of  ancient  tlreece  and  the  Orient,  has 
been  entirely  rewritten  by  B.  von  Sokolowsky  to

clearly,  and  forcibly  written,  with  agreeable  variety 
and  picturesipieness.  Facts  carefully  sifted  and  well 
ordered.  The  polemical  and  critical  portions  marred 
by  uncompromising  radicalism  of  statement  and  fre-

The  only  really  comprehensive  encyclop.Tdia  of

SDUOATION  AS  A  SOIBNOE  AND  AN 
ART. 

The  reader  interested  in  the  correlation  of 
studies  should  read  :  The  Report  of  the  Com- 
inittee  of  Fifteen  in  Educational  A'evinc,  March, 
1895  ;  N.  v.,  Holt&  Co.,  35c.  The  First  Year- 
Book  of  the  Herbart  Society  ;  Normal,  111., 
1S95,  50  c:  Dr.  De  Garmo's  article  on  the  cor- 
relation, concentration  and  co-ordination  of 
studies  in  this  book  is  very  able,  readjusts  the 
whole  discussion,  introducing  new  concep- 
tions of  the  problem.  Dr.  Van  Liew's  article 
on  the  Culture  Epochs  is  the  first  extended 
treatment  of  this  subject  in  English.  The 
paper  in  form,  unfortunately,  is  largely  in- 
fluenced by  German  models,  and  though  it 
needs  to  be  condensed  and  rearranged,  is  a 
scholarly  treatment  of  the  subject. 

Those  interested  in  the  scientific  investiga- 
tion of  educational  questions  should  read  the 
Pei/a>;ogual  Seminary,  e'l'ted  by  G.  Stanley

Enci.isii  CuMrosnioN  itv  Practice,  lllus. 
N,  Y.,  Holt,  1895,  203  p,,  D.  80  c. 

This  book  carries  forward  a  study,  by  means  of  ob- 
servation, comparison,  and  inference,  of  the  principles 
observed  generally  by  good  writers,  and  at  the  same 
time  tjives  a<  tual  practice  in  writing  connected  Eng- 
lish. The  use  of  the  conventional  detached  sentence 
in  exercises'  is  abandoned,  and  the  learner  is  put  to 
work  upon  wholes.  Stress  is  thus  laid  upon  sequence 
of  thought  and  unity  and  fluency  in  writing.  A 
knowledge  of  punctuation  is  developed  in  an  entirely 


new  way.  Diction  is  treated  at  the  end  of  the  book 
after  the  learner  by  his  efforts  in  composing  has  ac- 
quired an  appreciation  of  it.  A  chapter  is  devoted  to 
common  errors.  Based  on  live  years  of  experiment  and 
test  in  the  class-room.  808.

A  severe  criticism,  maintaining  that  while  thought 
is  vastly  indebted  f  language,  thought  is  often  in- 
dependent of  language,  and  that  articulate  speech  has 
arisen  naturally,  many  steps  of  the  process  being  evi-

Extremely  clear  anj  simple  presentation  of  the 
subject  The  plan  is  to  lead  learners  by  the  solution 
of  problems  within  their  capacity  md  comprehension 
to  a  knowledge  of  the  principles  involved  instead  of 
by  the  application  of  rules  and  formuL-e.  Nearly 
all  examples  drawn  from  the  demands  of  ordinary 
evcry-day  life — not  invented  to  test  the  application  of 
principles  and  formiil.-e.  Furnishes  a  large  number  of 
examples  for  oral  solution.  An  appendix  gives  rules 
and  principles  clearlv,  concisely,  and  philosophically 
stated.     Well  suited  for  self-instruction.  511.

annual  motion,  the  ecliptic,  the  earth  as  moving,  the 
moon  and  her  motions,  motions  of  the  planets,  it  builds 
up  a  knowledge  of  these  by  direct  observation  and  record 
of  observations  by  drawings.  The  three  pages  on  Talks 
with  Observers  especially  good.  Large  star  maps  and

Dana,  James  D. 

Manual  ok  Geology.  4th  edition.  N.  Y., 
Am.  Book  Co.,  1895,  1087  p.,  O.  $5. 

The  most  recent  and  extensive  treatise  on  North 
American  geology,  and  on  historical  geology  in  gen- 
eral. Devotes  less  attention  to  structural  geology,  but 
is  indispensable  to  the  student  who  would  be  up  to 
date  in  the  historical  geology  of  the  I'nitcd  States  and 
Canada.  Leading  American  geologists  have  supplied 
the  results  of  their  recent  labors  and  added  vitally  to 
its  value.  Simple  and  clear  in  arrangement  and  termi- 
nology.   Adapted  to  the  advanced  student.        550.2. 

Dawson,  Sir  John  William. 

Geolooical  History  ok  Plants.  (Inter- 
national Scientific  series.)  N.  Y.,  Apple- 
ton,  1888,  290  p.,  D.  $1.75. 

The  best  brief  descriptive  work  in  English  on  that 
part  of  historical  geology  which  relates  to  tossil  vegeta- 
tion. It  is,  ho  ever,  too  little  illustrated,  and  gives 
but  little  prominence  to  the  evolutionary  history  of 
plant  life.  Represents  best  the  plant-forms  of  Cana- 
dian rocks,  omitting  many  which  are  of  great  Im- 
portance in  the  United  States.  Adapted  to  the  fairly 
advanced  student.  580. 

Handbook  ok  Geology  kor  the  Use  ok 
Canadian  Studknts.  Montreal,  Dawson 
Bros.,  1889,  250  p.,  D.  $j. 

The  best  treatment  of  Canadian  geology;  written 
largely  from  the  author's  own  investigations;  and  pre- 
senting in  clear  summary  the  results  of  the  very  active 
and  scholarly  work  of  the  Canadian  Geological  Survey. 
It  is  authoritative  and  definite,  and  at  the  same  time 
descriptive  and  readable.  Adapted  to  teachers  and 
fairly  advanced  students.  550. 

Geikie,  Sir  Archibald. 

Text-Book  ok  Geology.  3d  edition,  revised 
and  enlarged.  N.  Y,,  Macmillan,  1893, 
II47  p.,  O.  $7.50. 

The  best  book  of  its  kind.  Written  from  a  scholarly 
standpoint ;  with  a  comprehensive  and  masterly  view  of 
the  subject,  applied  to  the  world  at  large.  Compared 
with  Dana  s  "  Manual,"  It  presents  a  broader  view 
of  geology  as  a  whole;  especially  of  structural  and  of 
dynamic  geology.  It  excels  also  in  its  descriptions  of 
rocks,  givinjg  more  attention  to  physical  and  obvious 
characteristics.  Its  disadvantages  are  that  its  ar- 
rangement is  more  cumbersome  ;  its  terminology  less 
simple  and  less  in  accord  with  American  usage  ;  it  is 
designed  especially  for  use  in  Great  Britain,  and  Its 
illustrations  are  chiefly  British.  Dana's  much  more 
detailed  treatment  of  historical  geology  make  his  work 
a  necessity,  but  this  is  needed  as  lis  complement. 
Adapted  to  the  advanced  student,  660. 2. 


Le  Oonte,  Joseph. 

Elements  ok  Ge<ilogy:  a  Text-Book  for  Col- 
leges and  for  the  General  Reader.  New 
and   enlarged   edition.     N.  Y.,  Appleton, 

1886,  §4. 

An  excellent  general  work  for  the  student  of  moder- 
ate development.  Its  strength  isitsclear  treatment  of 
dynamical  and  structural  geology,  unencumbered  by 
great  detail  ;  its  close  and  systematic  paragraphing 
htting  it  for  college  use ;  its  luminous  illustrations. 
Not  up  to  date,  however,  in  American  earlier  geology, 
esiiecially  Cambrian,  and  in  western  representation  of 
later  periods.  Gives  but  scant  treatment  of  general 
metamorphism,  of  mountain  building,  and  of  European 
glacial  history.  650.2. 

Shaler,  Nathaniel  Southgate. 

First  Book  in  Geology.  Bost.,  D.  C. 
Heath  &  Co.,  1884,  255  p.,  D.  $1.10. 

An  t  •■llent  introduction  to  geology;  chiefly 
dynamic.  Treating  the  action  of  the  forces  which 
have  shaped  the  earth  ;  considering  the  formation  and 
history  of  pebbles,  sand,  mud  and  soils;  the  making 
of  rocks  and  coal ;  the  work  of  air  and  water,  volca- 
noes and  earthcjuakes;  the  formation  of  mineral  veins 
and  caverns,  hills  and  mountains,  valleys  and  lakes. 
A  brief  sketch  follows  of  the  fossil  contents  of  the 
rocks,  the  appearance  01  species,  and  development  of 
organic  life.  A  short  description  of  the  most  imimr- 
tant  rocks  is  added.  Simple  in  statement,  flowing  and 
narrative  in  style.  Presupposes  ho  geologic  knowl- 
edge. Adapted  to  the  beginner  or  general  reader; 
may  be  used  as  a  primer  for  earliest  class-work  ;  may 
be  read  together  with  the  same  author's  "Story"  or 
as  preliminary  to  LeConte's  "  Elements."'  650  7. 

The  Story  ok  Oir  Continent."  Bost., 
Ginn  &  Co.,  1891,  278  p.,  D.  75  c. 

A  plain  and  simple  treatment  of  the  physiography 
and  the  geological  history  of  North  America.  Ele- 
mentary and  descriptive  in  style.  Its  object  is  to 
show  how  the  present  and  past  physical  features  of 
the  continent  have  been  successively  developed.  It 
shows  the  connection  between  the  geology  and  the 
geography  <if  the  United  States,  and  the  causes  which 
have  aided  to  determine  regional  and  national  develop- 
ment. Adapted  to  the  beginner.  May  serve  as  in- 
troduction to  the  author's  "Nature  and  Man  in 
America,"  560.

Montreal,  June,   1895. 


The  comparative  fulness  of  this  list  of  books 
is  due  to  the  conviaion  that  botany  furnishes 
the  most  attractive  gateway  to  the  field  of 
science.  It  takes  the  observer  out  of  doors,  it 
appeals  to  the  sense  of  beauty  in  an  uncommon 
degree,  it  tempts  to  sketching — so  that  the  hand 
confirms  and  preserves  what  is  seen  by  the  eye; 
when  the  services  of  insects  and  birds  to  flow- 
ers and  fruits  are  noticed,  the  position  of  botany 
as  a  department  of  natural  history  is  more 
strongly  emphasized.

to  the  important  subject  of  child-study.  Traces  the

makes  the  mistake  of  confusing  it  with  physiology  of 
the  brain.  The  book  contains  an  excellent  account  of 
the  achievements  of  Herbart,  Fechner,  and  Wundt.

Brough.  William. 

Naiikal  Law  of  Money.  N.  Y.  ramam, 
1894,  16S  p.,  D.  §1. 

One  of  the  most  meritorious  of  re  ent  publications 
upon  monetary  science.  In  a  rem;  rkably  clear  and 
lucid  style  Mr.  Hrough  shows  that  the  tendency  to 
substitute  credit  in  place  of  material  substances  is 
the  distinctive  mark  of  pro(.'ress  in  the  art  of  effecting 
exchanges  .  .  .  Gold  has  now  become  the  standard 
money  of  intern  uional  trade,  but  its  use  as  currency  is 
decreasing  as  compared  with  that  of  credit. ^A'o'/ffw

by  W.  S.  Hough,  Professor  of  Philosophy 
in  the  University  of  Minnesota.  N.  Y,, 
Macmillan,  3  vols.,  $10.50. 

Publislicil  since  ihe  work  ol  Lewes,  and  more  use- 
ful, for  all  purposes,  than  any  of  the  previous  histories, 
to  which  he  refers  as  supplementing  his  <iwn  No  his- 
tory, even  in  German,  combines  the  same  fulness  of 
detail  with  compactness  in  treatment.  100. 

Lewes,  Oeorge  Henry.

from  its  Origin  in  Greece  down  to  the 
Present  Day.  N.  Y.,  Routledge,  h^o  p., 
D.  $1.40. 

Adapted  to  give  a  more  interesting  view  of  the 
whole  rield  than  any  other  original  work  in  Knglish. 
Written,  indeed,  with  the  purpose  of  provin).',  as  its 
motto  frcni  Goethe  implies,  that  "man  is  not  horn  t«i 
solve  the  problem  of  existence";  yet  its  biographical 
cliaracter  gives  it  a  peculiar  human  interest.  The 
predijminance  of  this  interest,  however,  obliges  the 
author  to  omit  a  multitude  of  details,  for  which  he 
refers  his  readers  to  "  more  comprehensive  histories 
previously  published."  100

HINTS  FOR  A  GIRLS'  CLUB 

WITH  A  HOME  OF  ITS  OWN. 

See  books  under  Cluds  kor  Girls  and  Wombn,  p.  122. 


1.  Mi'MBER.  A  score  of  girls,  not  all  bread- 
winners, nor  all  of  the  leisure  class,  can  forma 
club  better  than  a  larger  number.  They  will  first 
of  all  discuss  the  project  among  their  acquaint- 
ances and  friends,  find  out  whether  a  club  is 
really  wanted,  about  how  many  are  likely  to 
join  it,  what  its  aims  in  response  to  local  needs 
should  be,  and  whert  it  had  best  make  its 
home. 

2.  Housiso.  The  home  of  the  club  should 
be  near  the  homes  of  its  members.  In  a  city, 
if  the  club-rooms  can  be  easily  reached  without 
paying  car-fare,  so  much  the  better.  It  is  well 
to  choose  the  rooms  in  a  quiet  street  just  off  a 
central  thoroughfare.  In  the  country,  where 
rents  are  lo:v,  there  is  more  freedom  of  choice. 
Wherever  the  club  makes  its  home,  it  should 
avoid^a  neighborhood  where  loafers  congregate. 
In  a  city  it  may  be  possible  to  reduce  the  rent 
by  sub-letting  the  rooms  during  the  day  for  a 
kindergarten,  or  for  other  classes.  The  rent 
niiiy  have  to  be  guaranteed  for  six  or  twelve 
months  by  some  well-to-do  member  or  other 
friend  of  the  club.  This  only  when  there  is  a 
certainty  that  the  club  will  be  able  to  pay  the 
rent. 

3.  Gins.  While  the  club  should  plan  noth- 
ing it  cannot  pay  for,  it  should  always  be  glad 
to  accept  aid  from  friends.  Delicacy  here  is 
required  on  both  sides:  wherever  possible 
donors  should  be  known  only  to  the  club- 
otficers. 

4.  FuRNisniNi;.  Cheery  and  cosy  rooms  help 
to  make  a  club  attractive  to  its  members,  and 
serve  to  win  additions  to  its  ranks.  Strong 
and  simple  stuffs  are  best  in  furnishing;  they 
can  easily  be  chosen  in  attractive  colors  and 
patterns.  A  handsome  rug,  which  can  be  had 
for  a  few  dollars,  is  more  wholesome  and  less 
costly  than  a  carpet.  Next  to  duraliility  and 
convenience,  simplicity  of  form  in  furniture  is 
the  most  desirable  quality — it  means  the  least 
possible  labor  in  dusting  and  cleaning.  In 
adorning  the  club-rooms  quality  rather  than 
quantity  is  desirable.  Simplicity  is  always  the 
mark  of  good  taste.  A  few  carefully  chosen 
pictures,  a  good  plaster  cast  or  two,  give  a 
room  an  air  of  refinement  denied  to  manv  a 
parlor  profusely  and  expensively  adorned.  In 
furnishing  and  fitting  up,  no  gift  should  be 
accepted  which  is  unsuitable.  Sometimes  tables, 
carpets,  and  the  like,  quite  out  of  keeping  with 
the  club,  ate  offered. 

5.  IsAicruAi.  Kkcki'IIOn.  As  soonasaclub 
is  settled  in  its  home  it  is  customary  to  hold  a 
reception,  to  which  the  members  invite  their 
friends,  and  all  others  wh(jm  they  think  will  be 
interested  in  the  aims  of  the  club.  A  brief  ad- 
dress on  the  outlook  of  the  club,  and  an  invi- 
tation to  join  its  ranks,  may  very  properly  be 
given  at  this  reception. 

6.  ARRANr.KMKNT  01-  Rooms.  When  possible, 
the   club   should   have   two  adjoining   rooms. 


leaving  the  larger  one  nearly  empty,  with  only 
folding  chairs,  and  perhaps  a  small  table  against 
the  wall.  This  gives  space  for  dancing,  drills, 
classes,  and  business  meetings.  The  smaller 
room  can  be  a  pretty  library  and  sitting-room. 

7.  Back-Yard.  A  back-yard  is  always  de- 
sirable. Hammocks  can  be  swung  there  in 
summer,  flowers  planted  and  tended,  with  in- 
cidental study  of  botany. 

8.  F(joi).  It  is  advantageous,  when  the  club- 
rooms  are  in  a  house  where  a  janitress,  or  a 
friend  of  the  club,  has  a  kitchen  for  the  prep- 
aration of  simple  meals.  Here  lessons  in  cook- 
ing can  be  given,  refreshments  for  parties  can 
be  made  ready,  and  inexpensive  suppers  pro- 
vided for  members  who  come  directly  from 
their  work  to  the  club, 

9.  Supervision.  The  rooms  should  at  all 
times  be  scrupulously  clean,  thoroughly  lighted 
and  ventilated,  and  well  warmed  in  cold 
weather.  It  is  advisable  to  appoint  a  senior 
member  who  will  be  responsible  for  these 
matters,  say  for  a  week  or  a  month,  and  who 
will  be  present  every  evening  of  her  term. 

10.  Mrsic.  As  music  affords  the  recreation 
most  enjoyed,  a  piano  of  good  tone  should  be 
one  of  the  first  things  secured  by  the  club. 

11.  Books.  As  soonasaclub  isable  it  should 
begin  to  form  a  library.  This  Lisr  will  give 
hints  for  purchases,  or  for  borrowings  from 
public  libraries.  In  New  York  the  State  Li- 
brary at  Albany  sends  a  desired  assortment  of 
twenty-five  or  more  books  as  '  "  travelling  li- 
brary "  to  any  club  or  person  •  State  who 
will  become  responsible  for  ti.^  ..:  irn  of  the 
volumes  within  a  year.  The  sole  expense  is 
for  carriage  both  ways.  As  a  help  to  the  club 
•librarian  there  is  nothing  better  than  Miss 
Mary  W.  I'himmur's  ".Aid  for  Small  Libraries," 
published  by  the  I'ratt  Institute  Library,  Hrook- 
!yn,  N.  Y.,  at  25  cents.  If  the  club  is  suliiciently 
large  and  prosperous  to  buy  fittings  for  its 
lil)rary  specially  designed,  it  should  correspond 
with  the  Lil)rary  Mureau,  146  Franklin  St., 
Boston,  manufacturers  of  all  kinds  of  shelving, 
desks,  and  drawers  for  catalogue-cards  and 
other  supplies  for  libraries.  This  Llsr  oi 
Books  numbers  each  book  arconling  to  the 
Decimal  Classification — set  forth  in  full  in  a 
volume  at  i?5,  in  condensed  form  at  S2  [Library 
Bureau.  Boston].  This  classification  is  excel- 
lent for  libraries  whose  shelves  are  open 
to  readers,  who  thus  find  together  the  books 
on  a  special  subject.  For  a  library  the  books 
of  which  are  not  on  shelves  accessible  to 
readers,  a  strictly  alphabetical  arrangement 
by  authors  is  perhaps  best.  This  is  the  plan 
in  the  Mercantile  Library,  New  York,  any 
one  of  whose  250,000  volumes  can  be  had  in  a 
minute   or  less.     The   practice   of    permitting

readers  full  and  inviting;  access  to  books  is 
steadily  growing  in  large  and  small  libraries. 
Wherever  feasible  it  is  much  to  be  commended. 
A  club  library  should  have  a  printed  classified 
catalogue,  and  also  a  card-catalogue  kept  up 
to  date  and  open  to  all  readers.  The  books 
should  have  removable,  washable  linen  covers 
— which  cost  3  to  5  cents  each.  Hfi-  under  A 
Literary  Ci.uii  uk  Girls  ok  Wo.men,  para- 
graphs 5  and  6. 

12.  Periodicals.  As  soon  as  possible  a  club 
should  have  periodicals  for  a  reading-table. 
The  selection,  of  course,  should  begin  with 
the  leading  local  newspapers,  and  extend,  as 
means  pernm,  to  weekly  journals  and  monthly 
magazines.  iV^  List  of  Periodicals.  All  but 
the  latest  issues  of  the  magazines  may  be  cir- 
culated among  the  members  for  home  reading. 
If  a  library  is  established,  these  magazines, 
duly  bound,  will  prove  very  popular. 

13.  Recreations  in  the  way  of  music,  reci- 
tations, and  the  like,  should  be  judiciously  ar- 
ranged as  far  ahead  as  possible.  If  one  or  two 
evenings  in  the  week  are  statedly  set  apart 
for  entertainment  it  will  save  the  trouble  of 
giving  notices  for  each  occasion.  If  any  mem- 
ber or  friend  of  the  club  has  talent  in  original 
story-telling  this  should  be  drawn  upon  and 
will  prove  delightful.  Entertainments  of  a 
somewhat  elaborate  kind,  to  which  friends  are 
invited,  or  for  which  a  small  fee  is  charged, 
can  be  given  as  often  as  they  prove  really  in- 
teresting, not  oftener. 

14.  INSTRIJCTION.  Classes  for  instruction  in 
cooking,  dressmaking,  and  other  useful  arts 
should  be  formed  as  soon  as  desired  by  the 
members  and  when  any  needed  outlay  is 
guaranteed.  Paid  teachers  of  approved  skill 
in  their  work,  of  evident  power  to  interest  a 


class,  should  be  engaged.  They  know  more 
about  the  latest  and  best  methods  than  volun- 
teers usually  do,  and  the  fact  of  payment  in- 
sures their  responsibility.  A  good  teacher 
never  omits  to  take  a  broad  view  of  her  sub- 
ject, and  in  explaining  how  to  bake  a  loaf,  or 
how  to  dye  a  garment,  her  class  may  be  sur- 
prised to  find  that  they  have  long  been  chemists 
without  suspecting  it.  If  a  competent  lady  will 
conduct  literary  classes  gratis,  her  services 
should  be  gladly  accepted  from  motives  of 
economy  and  to  promote  the  spirit  of  co-opera- 
tion among  friends  of  the  club. 

15.  Health.  Health  talks  are  always  inter- 
esting and  helpful.  A  woman  physician  may  be 
engaged  by  the  club  for,  say,  two  hours  each 
week  for  consultation.  In  this  way  the  begin- 
nings of  a  malady  may  be  di-'covered  in  time 
to  treat  it  successfully,  the  injury  due  to  a 
special  form  of  employment  pointed  out,  and 
the  general  conditions  for  health  to  be  ob- 
served by  each  individual  made  clear.  The 
same  physician  may  be  engaged  by  the  club, 
in  cases  of  illness  among  members,  and  at  some 
saving  of  cost.  A  similar  engagement  of  a 
dentist  is,  perhaps,  also  advisable. 

if).  Co-operation.  As  opportunity  may 
offer,  it  is  well  for  a  club  to  enjoy  other  advan- 
tages of  co-operation.  If  among  its  members 
five  or  ten  conclude  to  buy  sewing-machines, 
bicycles,  suites  of  furniture,  or  make  other  con- 
siderable purchases  at  one  time  and  place,  a 
material  saving  can  be  effected.  So  also  in 
the  matter  of  subscribing  for  magazines,  buy- 
ing books,  and,  perhaps,  insurance.  N'ot  the 
least  gain  in  a  club  is  the  way  in  which  it 
brings  to  the  attention  of  the  young  and  inex- 
perienced the  methods  of  building  associa- 
tions and  other  approved  means  of  saving  and 
investment.

A  LITERARY  CLUB  OF  GIRLS  OR  WOMEN. 


1.  Nuv'ER.  Ten,  or  thereabouts,  is  a  good 
number  with  which  to  form  a  literary  club. 
It  may  grow  to  twenty-five,  and  usually  can- 
not with  advantage  exceed  that  number. 

2.  Officers.  At  the  first  stated  meeting  a 
president  and  secretary-treasurer  should  be 
chosen  for  a  year,  and  a  constitution  and  by- 
laws, as  simple  as  possible,  adopted.  [Hints 
therefor  will  be  found  at  the  end  of  the  article 
A  Girls'  Club.]  Club  business  at  meetings 
should  have  the  utmost  despatch  if  members 
are  not  to  be  wearied. 

3.  Plack  of  Meeting.  Should  the  club  de- 
cide to  meet  at  the  houses  of  members  in  suc- 
cession, or  in  a  church-building,  the  matter  of 
expense  will  be  of  little  moment.  The  only 
charge  need  be  for  postal-cards  bearing  notices 
of  meetings. 

4.  Themes.  The  themes  of  a  club  will,  of 
course,  depend  on  the  interests  of  its  members. 
Hence  the  more  diverse  these  interests  the 
better  for  the  club.  A  collector  of  portraits, 
a  student  of  French  history,  a  traveller  familiar 
with  Italian  cities,  can  bring  her  friends  to 
new  and  charming  fields  of  study  and  explora- 
tion. In  many  clubs  it  is  customary  to  read  a 
paper  of  about  half  an  hour's  length  at  each 
meeting,  and  devote  to  discussion  another  half 
hour,  or  an  hour,  closing  with  quite  informal 
talk.  In  such  cases  it  is  well  to  draw  up  a 
program  in  advance,  and  include  mention  of 
the  subject  of  a  paper  in  the  notice  of  a  meet- 
ing. Thus  members  come  prepared  to  ques- 
tion, to  offer  comment,  or  to  add  illustration. 
Often  a  member  is  so  very  familiar  with  a  spe- 
cial mode  of  living,  or  of  bread-winning,  that 
she  shuns  it  as  the  theme  of  a  paper.  Yet  the 
division  of  labor  in  a  factory,  or  a  hotel,  with 
its  daily  routine;  the  construction  and  the 
good  and  bad  points  of  a  great  apartment- 
house,  the  revelation  of  character  to  a  teacher 
in  a  public  school,  the  management  of  a  depart- 
ment-store, can  be  made  of  vivid  interest  to 
friends  ignorant  of  these  matters.  If  a  part, 
or  the  whole  of  the  themes  during  a  season 
can  be  given  connection,  so  much  the  better. 
In  trying  to  avoid  desultory  work  there  is, 
hovk'ever,  some  risk  of  sticking  to  a  single 
theme  after  its  interest  is  worn  out. 

5.  Talk  A  club  is  sure  to  number  among 
its  memberb,  or  friends  who  are  not  members, 


men  and  women  who  will  be  glad  to  give  a 
brief  talk,  perchance  on  a  subject  that  has  en- 
gaged the  interest  of  a  lifetime.  Such  a  talk 
may  prove  better  and  is  easier  to  get  than  a 
formal  paper.  No  program  should  be  so  rigid 
as  to  exclude  the  opportunity  to  hear  good 
talk  of  this  kind,  especially  when  it  comes  from 
an  unheralded  visitor  from  afar. 

6.  Books  and  Study,  Many  books  of  pure 
literature,  history,  and  fiction  can  mean  more 
when  read  by  the  members  of  a  club  than  by 
others.  The  privilege  often  enjoyed  in  a  club 
of  consulting  or  questioning  a  better  informed 
reader  than  oneself  is  of  great  value.  In 
other  departments  of  literature,  those  dealing 
with  the  useful  and  fine  arts,  for  example,  ad- 
vantages even  more  important  arise  from 
club  membership.  A  reader,  by  herself,  is 
tempted  to  glance  idly  through  the  illustra- 
tions of  a  volume  on  wild-fiowers  and  resist  its 
persuasions  to  go  a-field  and  form  acquaintance 
with  buds,  blossoms  and  their  manifold  insect 
ministry.  J 1  a  club  with  the  impulse  of  com- 
panionship and  the  direction  of  an  informed 
and  enthusiastic  leader,  the  author  of  a  sterling 
flower-book  becomes  a  living  voice  with  a  story 
to  tell  of  absorbing  interest.  And  many  a 
worker  who  at  home,  or  elsewhere,  alone,  is 
contented  with  her  own  experience,  may  in 
the  realm  of  her  toil  deem  books  of  little  use  to 
her.  With  the  wholesome  emulation  of  a  club, 
with  a  good  teacher  to  solve  difficulties  that 
never  occurred  to  the  author's  mind,  this  young 
woman  finds  that  a  good  book  on  an  art,  or  a 
trade,  or  on  household  management,  is  simply 
the  record  of  much  fuller  experiences  than  her 
own,  which  can  immensely  improve  her  daily 
practice  and,  it  may  be,  lift  pressing  burdens 
from  her  shoulders.  A  word  in  season  is  gold- 
en when  it  lightens  toil. 

7.  Teachers.  In  the  formal  study  of  a  great 
poet — Shakespeare,  Dante,  Goethe — or  of  a 
foreign  tongue,  a  club  opens  the  way  for 
many  women  who  desire  thorough  instruction 
and  cannot  get  it  either  at  home  or  at  college. 
A  club  enables  a  competent  teacher  to  be  en- 
gaged at  a  reasonable  charge,  it  keeps  a  stu- 
dent steadily  at  her  work,  it  provides  her  with 
congenial  friends  of  kindred  aims.  Efforts 
otherwise  desultory  are  given  connection, 
purpose,  fruitage. 


A  WOMAN'S  CLUB. 


Olive  Thome  Miller's  "  The  Woman's  Club," 
published  by  Lovell,  Coryell  &  Co.,  New  York, 
at  $1,  is  a  practical  guide  and  handbook  which 
renders  unnecessary  here  any  hints  for  the 
establishing  or  management  of  women's  clubs. 
Mrs.  Miller  begins  with  an  enthusiastic  argu- 
ment for  the  woman's  club  as  evolved  from  the 
home,  as  supplementing  it  helpfully  and  de- 
lightfully. Next,  she  describes  clubs  of  widely 
different  types — Sorosis,  of  New  York;  the  New 


England  Woman's  Club,  of  Boston;  the  Fort- 
nightly and  the  Women's  Club,  of  Chicago;  the 
New  Century, of  Philadelphia;  the  Saturday,  of 
Columbus,  O.;  the  Seidl  Society,  of  Brooklyn, 
and  others.  Drawing  upon  her  large  experience, 
Mrs.  Miller  suggests  how  clubs  may  best  be 
founded  and  conducted,  pointing  out  common 
defects  in  rules,  discipline,  and  spirit.  A  model 
constitution  and  code  of  by-taws  in  full  detail 
are  added,  with  wise  comment.

The  CiiAtTTAUOtJA  Literary  and  Scientific 
Circle  plans  a  four  years'  course  of  home-read- 
ing, each  year's  of  which  is  complete  in  itself. 
The  five  books  prescribed  for  iSijj-c/),  with  the 
CIniutituqnan,  a  monthly  magazine,  can  be  had 
for  $7,  from  Hunt  &  Eaton,  150  Fifth  Avenue, 
New  York.  The  membership  fee  in  addition  is 
50  c.  yearly,  sent  to  John  H.  Vincent,  Buffalo, 
N.  Y.  Individual  readers  are  recommended 
to  form  Local  Circles  and  to  report  to  John  H. 
Vincent.  Chautauqua  has  been  a  pioneer  in 
the  work  of  making  reading  systematic,  of 
breaking  the  bread  of  science  to  the  plain  peo- 
ple. Its  Summer  School  is  the  most  important 
and  influential  in  the  world. 

The  SdciETY  to  Encourac.e  Sttdies  at 
Home  has  its  work  done  by  women  for  women, 
all  over  the  country,  wholly  by  correspondence. 
Any  woman  over  seventeen  may  ask  the  Sec- 
retary, 41  Marlborough  St.,  Boston,  Mass.,  for 
a  circular  giving  rules  and  subjects  of  study. 
Further  information  is  obtained  in  the  same 
way.  Students  procure  books  from  the  Soci- 
ety's Library  for  a  small  charge,  or  they  buy  or 
borrow  them.  Each  one  is  directed  by  her  as- 
signed correspondent,  as  if  she  were  a  private 
pupil;  and  the  work  is  done  in  a  sympathetic 
spirit,  to  encourage  thorough  study,  either  ele- 


mentary or  advanced.  The  fee  Is  $3  for  the 
term,  but  for  those  really  unable  to  pay  it,  a 
few  scholarships  are  provided.  The  Society  is 
twenty-two  years  old,  and  many  students  have 
persevered  ten  or  more  years  under  its  direc- 
tion, continuing  one  subject,  or  changing,  as 
they  pleased. 

The  Round  Rohin  Reading  Ci.ni,  which 
was  founded  less  than  two  years  ago,  brings 
together  the  person  who  desires  to  know  and 
the  person  best  qualified  to  inform.  It  has  no 
books  of  its  own,  but  uses  the  best  literature  ; 
it  dictates  no  subject,  leaving  its  members  to 
select  what  they  need  or  like.  The  work  is 
done  by  means  of  original  schedules  and  per- 
sonal correspondence.  In  classes,  as  with  sin- 
gle readers,  the  personal  character  of  the  work 
is  never  lost.  To  students  in  the  library  it  is 
invaluable  as  a  guide  to  not  merely  a  subject, 
but  to  the  important  critical,  biographical,  or 
historical  work  connected  with  it.  It  is  en- 
dorsed by  such  men  as  Hovvells,  Hale,  Slock 
ton,  E.  J.  James,  Gilder,  Mabie,  and  others,  an 
has  on  its  lists  of  examiners  university  pro- 
fessors and  thoroughly  trained  literary  men 
and  W(jmen.  Terms  and  other  information  can 
be  obtained  from  the  Director,  Miss  Louise 
Stockton,  4213  Chester  Ave.,  Philadelphia,  Pa.
